See Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho's message in the bug log.

I'm with Tollef Fog Heen[1] (who didn't mail the bug) and Anthony Towns
in being hesitant about web log archiving. While archiving certainly can
be useful (I use rss2email and Evolution's search feature), I don't
think it's the job of debian.org to do it.
I rather think it would be better for someone to make a hack to do
google searches (or use some other suitable search engine) to direct
queries only on the sites that carry the web logs on Planet Debian. A
search form that adds lots of site: -keywords into the query or
something. This lets web log writers to still control their messages (to
fix mistakes, or even take down unintentionally flammable entries), for
example.
