    Got it! I am going to use "Link:" instead.

    I just see how the discussion evolved at
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgzRUT1fBpuz3xcN+YdsX0SxqOzHWRtj0ReHpUBb5TKbA@mail.gmail.com/

    It is actually this exact discussion that confused me. I got the
    impression that BugLink was a commonly used tag. I see that
    I was too fast.

    Thanks for stopping me.

    Best Regards,
    Petr
