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

[Daniel Axtens]

Hi all,

It converts the public-inbox git repo into mbox files and uses
parsearchive to import them. I will warn you in advance that the script
is not at all sophisticated and so for a list like LKML the process is
still excruciatingly slow.

> command rather than using the REST API. We will continue to dig into

Sounds good.

Regards,
Daniel
