I attached a gdb pretty printer for word codes to 44319 if that helps at
all: https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2019/msg00356.html

I use mairix with a local archive. You can grab mbox format archives
with rsync.

When the lists were last migrated I never got around to getting the
search working again. The old search used software that is long dead and
while we do have a copy of the sources, it'd be better to come up with
something new. public-inbox.org is interesting but does rather too much.
It ought to be possible to configure Xapian to do the job.

That works so, yes for now it's a good choice.
