I don't understand why the Closes tag were accepted. 
I may be misremembering but I thought Linus wanted Link tags:

Link: https://bla/bla

optionally with a trailer:

Link: https://bla/bla # closes

The checkpatch warning is just adding an annoying amount of noise
for all of use who don't use Closes tags.
