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 :>
