public-inbox is also built to allow various kinds of personal workflows. I don't really use them, but here are some instructions: https://inbox.sourceware.org/gcc-patches/_/text/mirror/ I'm sure it's possible one way or another to produce an mbox file from a public-inbox mirror. But also, having a public-inbox archive doesn't mean getting rid of the other ones, you can have them in parallel (like sourceware does). Simon
