As discussed in «Incentives for review» [1], using public-inbox, you can
filter using «dfn: match filename from diff» or even write more complex
queries [2].  For instance, read from your browser,

    https://yhetil.org/guix-patches/?q=dfn:python

And you can even follow a feed, for instance:

    https://yhetil.org/guix-patches/?q=dfn:python&x=A

Note that recent ’public-inbox’ comes from with the tool ’lei’. This
tool ’lei’ allows to query a public-inbox server and then fetch some
filtered messages to use it locally.  Currently, the Guix package is at
1.6 and it requires an update at 1.7; discussed here [3].  In this
message [4], you can find some Emacs workflow using public-inbox.


For guix-artwork, as a whole, I do not know what would be the best
query.

What is missing from Mumi is the use of Message-ID for an easy
referencing between the email tools, as discussed in [5].


As we discussed once, maybe it would help to have an “official“
public-inbox instance for the Guix project.  For instance, Org folks
uses a public-inbox instance [6] and switched 2 years ago [7].

From my point of view, public-inbox would fix some annoyance about the
“email workflow”.  Now the question is: who help in the maintenance? :-)
