[sorry, once again I have to sent it a second time, as vger rejected it;
thunderbird once again messed for some reason used
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" then it should have used 8bit; I tried
to track this down by sending mails to myself, but then it sets 8bit
correctly when needed :-/ ]

Lo! The regression tracking bot I'm working on can automatically mark an
entry as resolved, if the commit message of the fix uses a 'Link' tag to
the report.  Many developers already place them, but it afaics would
improve matters to make this more explicit. Especially as I had missed
the modified section myself at first, as I simply grepped for 'Link:'
and only found an explanation in configure-git.rst.

Konstantin after posting v1 suggested to use lore.kernel.org instead or
lkml.kernel.org, which made me add a patch to realize this everywhere in
the docs.

v2:
- slightly reword after suggestiones from Konstantin (thx!)
- make this a patch series with an preparatory patch that does
  s!lkml.kernel.org!lore.kernel.org! everywhere in the docs

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/7dff33afec555fed0bf033c910ca59f9f19f22f1.1633537634.git.linux@leemhuis.info/ (local)
- initial version

Ciao, Thorsten

  docs: use the lore redirector everywhere

OK, I've applied this one, thanks.

Thx!

  docs: submitting-patches: make section about the Link: tag more
    explicit

Yeah, totally fine.

There was a comment on this one, so I've not (yet) applied it.

FWIW, I, too, have the Link: tags put in automatically when I apply a
patch, as Jani described; it's a simple hook in
.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.  That seems worth mentioning here more than
instructions on how to construct the link - I doubt many people do it
manually.

Well, that is already explained in
Documentation/maintainer/configure-git.rst afaics -- which is the better
place afaics, as that is something maintainers should do, and not
something people should do when submitting a patch.

Ciao, Thorsten
