Those in the website should be covered by
site/publish/.message-ids.tsv. (See site/tools/ for the generating
scripts.)
The logic for converting the message-ids into URLs is embedded in [1]
(which I have tried to make discoverable, [2], but that seems to have
regressed, and I'm ENOTIME to chase it).
[1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/projects/asf-generate-mail-archives-link

We should keep old links working, if possible. Ideally, not only links
we happen to have lying around, but also other links (e.g., in people's
non-public branches of https://github.com/apache/subversion).
There's more than one way to preserve links (redirecting old URLs to
new URLs for the same messages; keeping the site online but not
updating; keeping the site online and updating, on ASF hardware, e.g.,
svn-qavm.a.o; etc.). Any and all assistance would be most welcome!

It is, yes. And then there are people like danderson, who aren't named
"Daniel" but still get in the way of tab-completing Daniels ☺
Cheers,
