Does anyone use b4 tool with Mailman3 archive
Hello all,
I know this may not be the right place to ask. But, just in case someone has any experience using the b4 tool (https://github.com/mricon/b4) with the Mailman3 archives? Any idea, how to configure this tool to receive patch series from a mailman archive list?
This tool is mainly used for the following purposes:
- Retrieve patch series from a public mailing list (e.g. lore.kernel.org)
- Compare patch series
- Apply patch series to the git repository
- Retrieve code-review trailers
Kind regards, Prasanth Nair

b4 is a client for a specific mail archive server; public-inbox1. You can run a public-inbox archive for your mailman list, but you won't be able to use b4 if all you have is Hyperkitty.
Hi Alyssa,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly and for the clarification.
Kind regards, Prasanth
