[Mailman-Developers] Need more information about the GSoC idea 'GitLab/development tools integration'

Hello everyone,

The GSoC idea states 'a tool that will take a thread from a Mailman mailing list and..'. I just wanted to know what are the different ways to extract a thread from a mailing list.

I'm actually trying to understand the idea from a couple of days but in vain. I couldn't even find documentations related to thread extraction.

Does a thread has any unique id? If yes, how should I extract the thread using the id?

Any links that would help me in understanding it in a much more better way?

Awaiting reply.

Thank You

Regards, Wasim
