I see an important advantage in that approach: each person does not have to switch to using notmuch as per normal way of reading mail. If enough people make a habit of tagging interface change proposals in that data base, it would be a reliable way of finding those messages. I would use it that way. The drawback for me of switching to notmuch for my incoming mail is that my incoming mail would be a lot bigger that way. I currently saye inbox files, so I have hundreds of incoming messages in one file. One directory which covers almost 1000 days from Aug 2017 to Feb 2020 is 13gig. With one message per file it could be several times that size. (Can anyone tell me an easy way to split an inbox file into separate messages one per file? I will test it and see how much bigger it gets.) However, doing this only for bug-gnu-emacs mail, and only for the last month or so, would not cause disk space problem. That approach should be feasible. It would still depend on various participants to mark feature proposals in the bug dataase. Forwarding a message to emacs-devel to move those threads there is just as easy as tagging it. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
