It's not really built around public-inbox. I just like public-inbox URLs
because they use global identifiers, which means I can index them into
other systems.
My setup is basically maildir (backfilled from gmane long ago and kept
up to date with my subscription), indexed by mairix, and a script that
does m{https?:/public-inbox.org/git/(\S+)} on mail contents and and runs
"mairix m:$1" on the result.
It also looks for gmane.org URLs and runs
gunzip -c ~/.gmane-to-mid.gz | grep "^${id}\$"
Not exactly high-tech, but it was easy to write and linear search is
good enough for personal use.
I used to do the same thing when gmane was up by resolving the article
numbers at gmane. But doing it without hitting the network is nicer
anyway, and of course the online method doesn't work anymore. :)
