I don't recommend this because it is not always a reliable mechanism to just take the local part of the list address and assume that it will match the list directory on lore.kernel.org. We've had lists that moved around or got renamed, or disambiguated for clarity. Overall, we're generally moving away from "where was this sent?" having any importance -- we already support lei queries and should soon have bridges exposing patches submitted via forge interfaces. If you want to indicate the focus of the patch, then going by the list to which it was sent is going to increasingly lose importance. -K
