LGTM, I can confirm that with that patch the public-inbox plugin works again. |
The lore.kernel.org mailing-list archive recently started using the Anubis proxy to filter out AI scrap-bots. Unfortunately, it seems to be somewhat based on the User-Agent, and the requests default one will get rejected. This means that the public_inbox will now be completely broken. This can be bypassed by setting a custom User-Agent though, which restores the expected behaviour, so let's do so. Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org>
