No big deal, just change it to lists.llvm.org <http://lists.llvm.org/>:

(possibly with some mechanical transformations to the URL). It would be a shame
to not be able to follow these cross-references from the old mailing list URL’s.

Unfortunately, UIUC is unable to auto-forward to lists.llvm.org (which would fix
most of the problem). However, the change in numbering is not something I think
can be fixed.

So, I think we are stuck with this..
