I'd like to come back to this offer. We have setup our own public-inbox
instances now for a while and mirroring them on lore.kernel.org would be
great.

These are the links to our instances:

	https://lore.barebox.org/barebox 
	https://lore.ptxdist.org/ptxdist
	https://lore.distrokit.org/distrokit
	https://lore.pengutronix.de/oss-tools

Is there anything else you need, some meta-data maybe?

Thanks in advance
Uwe
