[PATCH v2 0/5] Update REST API: Add 'project patches as mbox' field

Hi Mete,

Thanks for your contribution!

I checked
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/project/lkml/list/?archive=both&state=*
at the moment it has 1012231 patches. I'm a bit worried about how long
that would take to export and the load it would put on an server to
serve a request for all the patches. I think some of the lists on ozlabs
will also have hundred of megabytes of patches.

What do you see as the use case for this?

Regards,
Daniel
