Hmm, good point. Lore does have patchid indexing. This needs some more cleanup but could replace my usage of patch.msgid.link. firefox http://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=patchid%3A$(awk '{ print $1 }' <<< $(git patch-id --stable <<< $(git show $commit))) Now, it does drop one useful feature that you know apriori that the maintainer did not commit a private version of a patch. However it should work in most cases. It would be nice if that was guaranteed to land on the latest version of the patch just in case that patch was posted in several versions without changing.
