You could load the lkml history into the git db along with the kernel tree. Then process the mailing list history to tie discussion threads to commits. As you look at commits with gitk you could also see the relevant messages on lkml.
That sounds a lot like the "notes" proposal that was discussed on this list a couple months back. It included a notion of "soft references" which were used to tie commits to the note objects; that would presumably apply to the mailing list messages as well. IIRC the implementation that was proposed had some issues. Not sure what happened to it in the end.
Such a capability would also be a good integration point for bug tracking systems.
