I can fix 'em pretty quickly (already done in my local fork) with some automation. but I see there are another 880 old google group links in the repo not on this list. I assume they need to be fixed as well?
If the links are broken they need to be fixed. The trick we’ve found is that we have to check that the new URL is the intended message. Google Groups might be fine, but we’ve found that other services renumbered messages.
I was only checking for Google Group links, the old format. as for the links -- I haven't found a way to get a link to the specific message in a thread from old URL. these appear to be only "convertible" to a thread. for anyone to do it manually -- 251 links above + 880 extra that I see -- by checking the context around each link in a doc, then in the group, and getting the link there... I'm afraid these links may end up remain broken forever :-)
Here are the 404s:
