Well, if some organization wants those IDs or whatever then they will come
up with proper tooling which enforces this. We won't ever be able to
enforce it on every submitter on the planet.

For maintainers we can make the Message-ID link mandatory if the community
agrees on it. git has some form of support for that already as I learned in
some other thread. And adding it to homebrewn tooling is not rocket science
either.

Thanks,
