The link to "She missed him a lot" looks like a misunderstanding. "Gli" indicates that a male is missing someone or something. I had expected "Le" for a female doing the missing.

this usage seems to be quite common:

Interesting information! But "Tuttavia quest’uso non è ancora accettato nella norma" makes me think that this should either be rephrased or relinked.

I ran into this sentence, and the English translation, on Clozemaster, a site dedicated to language learning, so there may now be some learners thinking that 'mancare' is used as the example shows, with the pronoun indicating the gender of the person being missed.

I would have thought: He was lacking a bag ;)
Guybrush88 doesn't have his e-mail notification on, so maybe you ask him per PM.

Indeed, that's another reading. :)

As for PM's, I think they are too personal, if you see what I mean.
