OK, but to qualify, it needn't be the committer, that is, Ingo usually
commits the stuff for me, but I usually provide him with complete
patches including LKML-Reference, now Link, tag.

I'll change my script to:

Use an existing Link tag provided it doesn't match the above pattern, if
there's no such tag, use Message-id, lacking that, generate one using
the above pattern.

Thanks!
