- code that efficiently reads a public-inbox git repository/folder of

Somebody (Daniel Borkmann?) posted a (very fast) public-inbox git to
maildir converter, with procmail support. I assume that would actually
satisfy this step already, since you can just substitute the patchwork
parser for procmail.
- careful thought about how to do this incrementally. It's obvious how
to do email incrementally, but I think you need to keep an extra bit
of state around to incrementally parse the git archive. I think.
Not sure he had an incremental mode figured out there, but that can't
really be all *that* hard, just store the last-successfully-parsed git
sha1?
Yep, that is what it is doing, so that we only need to walk the repo(s)
upon a new git fetch to the point where we stopped last time.
Thanks,
Daniel
