Here’s a (short and incomplete) list of tools that you, as someone that cared to look at piem’s manual, may be interested in—things that either have some connection to public-inbox or to using an email-based development workflow in Emacs. Corrections and additions are welcome.

• git-email provides an Emacs interface for preparing and sending patches.

  https://sr.ht/~yoctocell/git-email/

• git range-diff is a built-in Git command for comparing iterations of a patch series. If you use Magit, the magit-tbdiff extension provides an interface for git range-diff.

• grokmirror enables efficient replication of large Git repository collections. The HTTP interface for public-inbox exposes a grokmirror-compatible manifest.js.gz endpoint.

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/grokmirror/grokmirror.git

• mailscripts, mentioned earlier in the manual (see Applying patches without a public-inbox archive), is a “collection of scripts for manipulating e-mail on Debian”, including b4-inspired patch extraction and an Emacs interface for some of the functionality.
