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?
