@monsieuricon I find it extra irritating that it's not just some generic bot pretending to be a browser. They're actually aiming at lore.kernel.org specifically judging by the user agent :/

@monsieuricon They must've asked AI about how to crawl lore.kernel.org without being banned

@monsieuricon i think all public email archives should remove mail adresses and possibly names so info can be indexed but not connected to the authors unless you participate in the mailing list. Same is true for bug trackers like Bugzilla.

@monsieuricon Do you verify signatures from public indexes or do you rather check them as subscriber of the mailing list in your local client when it's anime or pgp and leave dkim and arc to your mail server?

@monsieuricon the word is subscriber, my keyboard changed the text.
I don't think that public mail archives have to keep the original intact

Depends on the process and the signer.
I would trust the maintainer of the software and the users of the mailinglist for example.
Not all people and all lists are for development, they can easily remove identifiable information. Everything else could be either tracked by public key cryptography or be done without sending patches by mail. Repositories support pull requests on forgejo and the like directly.
