Fwiw, lore.kernel.org/git/$EPOCH.git ought to be somewhat cheaper,
but it's a different (more scalable) format which requires SQLite:

	https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox-v2-format.html

https://lore.kernel.org/git

(and I'm not going to pay extortionist .org fees to keep
 public-inbox.org when it comes up for renewal in 2023,
 maybe everyone can use Tor .onions by then :> )
