Hi Linus, Marcelo,
In each changelog entry, it would be really useful to include the Message-ID of that email in a regex-parsable location. This way, if the email was cced to lkml it would be possible for folks to track down the actual patch.
I'm not familiar with your scripts, but I'd be surprised if this were very difficult to implement. At the same time, there are many cases of changelog entries that read only 'USB' or something equally unhelpful, where there is little chance that anyone could track down the corresponding patch. Having the Message-ID in those cases would make all the difference in the world.
Be well, Zack
