Implementation
--------------
-
public-inbox uses ssoma[1], Some Sort Of Mail Archiver which implements
no policy of its own. By exposing an inbox via git, readers may follow
the inbox without subscribing via SMTP and have easy access to old
tangentially related projects we depend on (e.g. git developers
on git@vger.kernel.org).
-You can subscribe via ssoma(1), LISTNAME is a name of your choosing:
