public-inbox archive like lore.kernel.org. It is written to make it
easier to participate in a patch-based workflows, like those used in
the Linux kernel development.
The name "b4" was chosen for ease of typing and because B-4 was the
precursor to Lore and Data in the Start Trek universe.
See man/b4.5.rst for more information.
