I'm not sure that's necessary; most of the traffic seems to come from /git/MESSAGE_ID/ links posted by others. So it's probably more inside-out exposure than anything. As for other projects, I'm not aware of anybody else using it, yet. I have some small projects using it, but most of those are one-off throwaways and I'm not comfortable promoting those along with public-inbox. I admit: I'm not comfortable promoting anything I do, really. I do wish more people would start using the .onions, though...
