The Samba team had something that did that on their mailing lists when they were on GitHub. Not sure if they have something similar now they're on GitLab (I would hope so). There's also https://github-backup.branchable.com/ which at least fetches the data locally into git and could be send-email-ed. > If anyone needs a project to hack on. ;) The code definitely exists somewhere in some Samba repo and it'd probably be easily adapted :>
