Just all patches, but bonus points if I can filter out those not
delivered to any kernel mailing list (QEMU is the largest that is
archived by lore). I could do the filtering on my own backend, but I
guess I'm not the only who'd use it.

I agree with Jason Gunthorpe, by far the best solution here would be a
processor on the backend that subscribes to all kernel-related mailing
list and imports the patches (and only the patches) to a public-inbox
git archive. This would make patches@lists.linux.dev just work, and
would be awesome.
