There's one feature I like about FDO patchwork that I'd like to be able to retain. You can find the patches and thus the test results via a message-id like this: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/<message-id> I use that from my MUA 100x more often than the series URL sent by patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/<id>/ So I'd like to have a way to get from the patch/cover-letter message-id to the github/gitlab MR or where ever the resuls are. We currently add Link: tags to commits pointing at patchwork. There's already been requests to switch to use Lore links instead, and I think we should probably do that. Finally, on sunsetting patchwork, I think a redirector from: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/<message-id> to: https://lore.kernel.org/r/<message-id> would be a nice thing to do, considering how many patchwork links we have in commit messages.
