-public-inbox uses the "pull" model. Readers import mail into an mbox,
-Maildir, or IMAP folder from git repositories periodically. If a reader
-loses interest, they simply stop syncing. Since we use git, mirrors are
-easy-to-setup, and lists are easy-to-relocate to different mail
-addresses without losing/splitting archives. Dedicated readers only
-need to install ssoma, a command-line tool[1] currently implemented in
-Perl.
