Subject: [PATCH] doc: update wording to avoid "mailing list"
Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2019 23:35:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190421233523.5989-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

The concept of a "mailing list" infers the existence of a
centralized subscriber list, and hurts forkability.  The
"public inbox" concept is a more accurate description and
mostly centralization-resistant, aside from domain names.
