Yeah, that was expected, but I didn't expect how often I had to explain "yes, this is how the Link: tag is used, too, just check the docs"... :-D > Right now, the best thing we have is the git hook that auto-adds the > Link: tag that points to the lore thread where the patch came from. > Maintainers don't have the energy or time to add anything other than > that, so I think you just might have to rely on Fixes: for a while.

It was also news to me that an explicit permission is needed, but Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst states so: ``Be careful in the addition of tags to your patches: only Cc: is appropriate for addition without the explicit permission of the person named.``` > If there was some way > to automate the Reported: tag, maybe it could be used, but again, that's > a lot of manual work to do, which is going to be a hard sell. Yeah :-/ Ciao, Thorsten
