Well, some advantages I see after using a bit the public-inbox instance
<https://yhetil.org/> mirroring some lists.
1. The web interface,
a) works well with “poor“ web browser as EWW
(whereas I prefer Mumi with full featured browser ;-))
b) show the complete thread
c) powerful and quick search
2. The local mirror,
a) ‘git pull’, so do not pollute my email inbox
b) I pull and so read whenever I want, not when messages are
delivered
c) I index and read using whatever fits my workflow
d) the public-inbox server provides NNTP for Gnus folks
3. Bridge the present with the past
assume I start to follow guix-devel on Wed, 30 Mar 2022
and I locally read with my favorite Email reader this message:
<https://yhetil.org/guix/877d8bwz1l.fsf@gnu.org>
I am interested and I would like to know more:
a) I can read using my web browser
b) I can download the complete thread and read offline
(it requires some glue code, as ’lei’ or ’piem’; IIUC)
Using the “official” interface, it is really boring. For instance, I
read this message
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2022-03/msg00039.html>,
then one needs some motivation to find the message of this reply; since
it had not been sent the same month.
Mumi is about bugs and another interface for Debbugs. Therefore, we
cannot do everything with Mumi. ;-)
Maybe, what could help, IMHO, would to have the various Guix mailing
lists as public-inboxes under, say https://lists.guix.gnu.org and Mumi
could use this instance, eventually, or bridge. The aim would be a
flexible interface but still uniform.
And I do not speak about other tools from the ecosystem as B4,

Cheers,
simon
