The biggest obstacle is that at least one of those Pipelines requires
access to a clone of public-inbox.org/git, and cloning that is rather
expensive. Even a shallow fetch would be super expensive, by virtue of
_all_ the mails being blobs reachable from the tip commit's tree.

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

Is this incremental? GitGitGadget needs this to be incremental ;-)

Incremental as far as "git fetch" goes?  Of course :>
The "m" file is overwritten with every commit, so the tree size
stays at 1 (tree growth was a major scalability problem in v1).
