For the mailing list, you can try following an Atom feed for any specific search query. https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=FILE_OR_FUNCTION&x=A (the "x=A" makes it an Atom feed)

It's all still a work-in-progress but there'll be better filename and diff handling in public-inbox soon.

It's all AGPL and the data is only sourced from this mailing list, so 100% reproducible as I'm incapable of running a reliable server :> Clone instructions at the bottom of https://public-inbox.org/git/
