I did some digging, and all the edk2 archives are from April 2019, which
post dates these messages.
The sourceforge backup archive has disappeared.

But I was able to find the following. These are more the patches to make it
happen, but www.mail-archive.com could also be used to find the above
specific messages should someone have enough time and energy to overcome
the annoyances of the search engine interface:

https://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@lists.01.org/msg52385.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@lists.01.org/msg52836.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@lists.01.org/msg52758.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@lists.01.org/msg52757.html

as well as

https://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@lists.01.org/msg53211.html

announcing the freeze for their repo to make the change.
