Btw, for public-inbox, I'm using git-fast-import now, so imports
are a bit faster and $GIT_DIR/ssoma.index is no longer used.
This was crucial for getting git at vger archives imported in
a reasonable time.

public-inbox-* still keeps ssoma.index up-to-date for backwards
compatibility with ssoma, and will probably do so until 2020 or
later (there'll be a few years of deprecation notices)

So I or someone else needs to update Perl ssoma to use fast-import at
some point, too; and I suggest your python version do the same.
