    Haven't figured out how to use public-inbox yet. I've cloned the linux
    kernel mail list and I can see the newsgroup served by
    public-inbox-nntp, but the newsgroup is empty --- zero messages.

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    GROUP org.kernel.linux
    211 0 0 0 org.kernel.linux
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    I did index the repository. I mean --- I ran the program.

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    $ public-inbox-index ./linux.kernel.org/
    $ echo $?
    0
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    I can git log the repository just fine.

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    $ git log | wc -l
    2678026
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    What must I do?

    My config file:

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    $ cat ~/.public-inbox/config
    [publicinbox "linux"]
    address = linux@kernel.org
    url = https://org.kernel.linux.antartida.xyz
    inboxdir = /home/jshem/inbox/linux.kernel.org
    newsgroup = org.kernel.linux
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    How I run public-inbox-nntpd:

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    $ public-inbox-nntpd ~/.public-inbox/config -l 0.0.0.0:1119
    # bound nntp://0.0.0.0:1119
    PID=17034 is worker[0]
    [7] MODE READER - 0.000118
    [7] GROUP org.kernel.linux - 0.002769
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    And that's when my NNTP client gets

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    GROUP org.kernel.linux
    211 0 0 0 org.kernel.linux
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    Thanks for any help.

    Whatever the problem I have with that mail list is only with that mail
    list. Every other one I tried worked as expected.
