Since some time now, yes, but the "Link:" tags are way older and used to
 link to all sorts of places that are relevant.

Yup, but that's how it is for years already (and in the muscle memory of
some -- that's why I might make sense to teach b4 to set something else,
but that's a different story). Linus himself does it like that. Recent
commits showing that are for example 901c7280ca0d or 0313bc278dac. And
for links bug trackers, too, as 80d47f5de5e3 or 14e3e989f6a5 show.

Yeah, but we are in that mess already and people inventing different
tags; some of the DRM people for example use(d?) "References", but there
were others iirc.

Okay, thx, had just been wondering if people are used to it from some
platform.

Ciao, Thorsten
