XHDR (or HDR) over NNTP should do it (that's how I checked
against gmane):
--------8<-----
use Net::NNTP;
my $nntp = Net::NNTP->new($ENV{NNTPSERVER} || 'news.public-inbox.org');
my ($num, $first, $last) = $nntp->group('inbox.comp.version-control.git');
my $batch = 10000;
my $i;
for ($i = $first; $i < $last; $i += $batch) {
my $j = $i + $batch - 1;
$j = $last if $j > $last;
my $num2mid = $nntp->xhdr('Message-ID', "$i-$j");
for my $n ($i..$j) {
defined(my $mid = $num2mid->{$n}) or next;
print "$mid\n";
}
}
# and I forgot to optimize XHDR/HDR further in public-inbox-nntpd.
# Oh well, it seems to work, at least.

What's odd is there's some messages with two Message-ID fields
from gmane from the old days, too. I'll dig a bit another time.
