You should also try matching by patch-id. E.g., taking the commit from the
example:

    $ git show de534c1cb031 | git patch-id --stable
    7d23fb78b4bb892155827a612631168cb28584cc de534c1cb0313a070f45938a53b53927cd34e5b9

Then we can search by patchid:7d23fb78b4bb892155827a612631168cb28584cc:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=patchid%3A7d23fb78b4bb892155827a612631168cb28584cc
