Well, IIUC, your point would be to have teams based on “topic“ referred
by search term in patches.  Why not, although it is far to be
implemented, I guess. ;-)

BTW, I would recommend to give a look at lei [1,2] from the Guix package
public-inbox.  For instance, over the last 12 months, all patches
containing the terms ’r-build-system’ and ’reproducible’,

1. Extract from a public-inbox instance:

    guix shell public-inbox \
         -- lei q --threads --dedupe=mid \
         -I https://yhetil.org/guix-patches/ -o /tmp/Mail/patches \        
         'dfn:gnu/packages AND b:r-build-system AND b:reproducible AND rt:12.months.ago..'

2. Read it with a mail reader support Maildir:

    guix shell neomutt -- neomutt -f /tmp/Mail/patches


where

   dfn:     match filename from diff
   b:       match within message body, including text attachments
   rt:      match date-time range, git "approxidate" formats supported
            Open-ended ranges such as `d:last.week..' and `d:..2.days.ago'
            are supported
