To give a sense of the scale here, I have a 326-message thread regarding the recent submodules vulnerability that I'd like to make it into the archive (now that the issue is un-embargoed). I _could_ just re-send those messages individually to git@vger, but: 1. It's kind of spammy to dump so many messages. 2. The dates are now old, which means they'd likely get spam-blocked if used as-is. 3. Ditto for the "From" field, which would violate things like SPF. Points (2) and (3) could be addressed by "wrapping" the messages and using in-body headers, like we do for patch authors/dates, but then that would also fool tools like public-inbox. Likewise, I could dump the whole thing as a gzipped mbox, but it would be nice if the contents were more easily searchable. So it would be really nice to inject directly into the archive somehow (and then leave a single message on the list alerting people that it happened). -Peff
