I released korgalore 0.3

It's a neat little tool that lets maintainers "subscribe" to mailing lists without actually subscribing to mailing lists. Supports delivering to Gmail, IMAP, JMAP, local maildir, etc. Requires "lei" to do a lot of things, so make sure that's installed.

Lots of new features in this release, including `kgl track-subsystem` that will try to automatically set up lei queries based on the subsystem you're interested in.

Lots more testing needed of the new features, so will be happy if others try it out.

@monsieuricon ...between lei, b4, korgalore, and public-inbox, if it ever becomes possible to _send_ to a mailing list via git pull request - taking SMTP out of the picture entirely - the lads at $JOB will be absolutely beside themselves with joy. They're wasting so much time trying to get IT to understand that `git send-email` needs to work, and that Outlook 365 invents new ways of fouling it up weekly.

@monsieuricon (this isn't a feature request! Korgalore is excellent!!)

@gnomon you can use b4 to send patch series via a web service, you know that, right?

@monsieuricon I did _not_ know that and now I'm going to grab a cup of coffee and dig into the b4 docs, thank you!

@monsieuricon Is there a way to get historical mbox files I could make my own webmail archive from? llml.iu.edu and friends keep going down and lore.kernel.org has a fundamentally broken navigation UI.

@landley you can clone the underlying git repositories and convert every <commit>:m to whatever format you prefer.

@monsieuricon @landley I can help with this if you like, Rob.

I can also point you towards how to use public-inbox to serve IMAP (or NNTP, or whatever else you want) directly from the cloned message repos if you like. It'll be faster than converting everything to mbox files. (But honestly not a lot faster: every option will be pretty speedy.)

@gnomon @monsieuricon Many moons ago I collected a bunch of old mbox files from like 4 different sources, going back to the kc-linux archives of 1991. But alas, since moving out of Austin I dunno where half my stuff is. (Boxes piled high in storage...) And of course my updates since full of holes.

I've avoided using imap since 2012, when https://landley.net/notes-2012.html#12-02-2012 and https://landley.net/notes-2012.html#15-10-2012 and so on just got unbearable.

I'm happy to be helped by somebody who knows what they're doing...

@landley and just to be clear, you're looking for a complete archive of LKML in mbox format, right?

@gnomon Ideally, yes.
