Inspired by some of this functionality, I just uploaded
'mbox-extract-patch' to Debian unstable in the 'mailscripts' package, or
here:

    script: https://git.spwhitton.name/mailscripts/tree/mbox-extract-patch

    docs: https://git.spwhitton.name/mailscripts/tree/mbox-extract-patch.1.pod

It does what get-lore-mbox.py does except without the kernel-specific
functionality, so it might be interesting for people wanting to use a
git-send-email(1)-based workflow for projects whose mailing lists are
not archived on lore.kernel.org.

mailscripts also contains a wrapper, notmuch-extract-patch, for notmuch
users.
