You are looking at builtin/log.c::make_cover_letter()? Patches welcome, but I think you'd need a bit of preparatory refactoring to allow gen_message_id() be called for all messages _before_ this function is called, as currently we generate them as we emit each patch. > Alternatively, or perhaps in addition to the list of message-ids, a > list of URLs to public-inbox.org or gmane messages could also be > provided for those who prefer to download patches via HTTP. Many people around here do not want to repeat the mistake of relying too much on one provider. Listing Message-IDs may be a good idea, listing URLs that are tied to one provider is less so.
