[PATCH net v3 06/14] docs: netdev: shorten the name and mention msgid for patch status

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Date: 2022-03-30 04:25:22
Also in: bpf, linux-doc
Subsystem: documentation, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Cut down the length of the question so it renders better in docs.
Mention that Message-ID can be used to search patchwork.
