Subject: [PATCH net 05/13] docs: netdev: shorten the name and mention msgid for patch status
Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2022 19:53:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220327025400.2481365-6-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220327025400.2481365-1-kuba@kernel.org>

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