Hey,
just a random idea that occurred to me after a project was deleted on
Github, and while its source exists in many checkouts, issues and PRs
are probably lost: it would be nice to have a tool to incrementally
fetch issues (and their comments) and PR on Github and feed them into
a mailing list (which is then backed by public-inbox), for archival
and non-web subscription.
If anyone needs a project to hack on. ;)
cu,

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.

The code definitely exists somewhere in some Samba repo and
it'd probably be easily adapted :>

Did you find that?
Btw, there's also GitGitGadget, which works for pull requests;
but AFAIK not comments/issues:

I know of that one, but merged PR are usually self-documenting enough.

I have set this up for
https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze/
now at
https://inbox.vuxu.org/mblaze-github/
Code is at
https://github.com/leahneukirchen/gh-mailinglist-notifications
It does, however, require installing a webhook, so I cannot be used to
monitor foreign repositories.

Ability to monitor foreign repos could make it a killer feature :)
I actually tried github-mirror the other day, and it seems
great for monitoring repos without needing an account.
Unfortunately, it serializes to a Haskell-only format which
makes interop for Haskell illiterates (me) difficult.
I suppose one could parse it to a better format with some REs
using Perl, as I haven't found existing parsers...
