Sourcegraph CTO here. Does anyone know someone at GitHub or Microsoft we could get in touch with to take over maintenance of git.io? There are hundreds of thousands of references in open source, blog posts, and academic papers that will 404 if git.io is taken down. Sourcegraph would be happy to take over maintenance to preserve these links.

Playing the ball back: I was trying to export all git.io links through your sourcegraph code search, but the CSV export doesn't work for those purposes (it times out). Is there a chance you can publish this dataset now such that crawling git.io is easier?
