Description
the lore support relies on NNTP instead of the git trees (used by things like bugbot) and/or lei (either in general or for searches)
Support for NNTP in python was phased out into a separate lib and we suspect the service on lore.kernel.org at some (maybe distant) point will be abandoned

Research direction
Start by tracing regzbot’s current lore.kernel.org extraction path and its NNTP dependency. Compare the available git-tree and lei approaches, including whether lei searches are sufficient, then clarify which replacement is intended. Done means the support no longer depends on Python’s separate NNTP library or the lore NNTP service while retaining the required data extraction.
