Indeed - even assuming volunteers run them - they’re’s still the issue of hosting and net access.

I have old repositories (end2end-interest, for one) that even the ISOC has declined to host (even though the E2E-RG originated there).

Then again, if you want to see the worst of “free riders”, go attend an IETF. Companies send armies there for free training and free consulting. 

PS - speaking as list admin, if anyone wants to offer a place to host this list more reliably and archivally, please do let me know (contact me directly off-list).
