I use lei with lore.kernel.org/all for that. For example, say I want to
see the discussion behind b6094ac83dd4 ("mtd: spi-nor: core: Introduce
spi_nor_set_4byte_addr_mode()"). I run the below query (on lore or on
lei, whichever suits your workflow) [0]:

   s:mtd: spi-nor: core: Introduce spi_nor_set_4byte_addr_mode() 

I then get the emails associated with the patch. This also works for
patches that arrived before I subscribed to any of the mailing lists. So
I find this method to be more powerful and complete than subscribing to
mailing lists.

[0] I have written some bits of code to integrate lei with gnus which
makes it easy for me to quickly open and read email threads. In the
background, it essentially runs:

    lei q --no-save -O https://lore.kernel.org/all/ -o mboxrd:temp.mbox -t "s:mtd: spi-nor: core: Introduce spi_nor_set_4byte_addr_mode()"

which creates an mbox file with the results of the query. "-t" tells it
to fetch the whole thread of any email that matches this query. I then
create a gnus group from the mbox and read the emails. See the lei q man
page for more details: https://public-inbox.org/lei-q.html

Lei can do much more but right now this simple workflow works pretty
good for me.
