Hi all, Let's say that there is a content creator who submits her first kernel patch (touching drivers/staging/ of course to get her feet wet). The patch supposes to fix a reported bug, with appropriate Fixes: tag. But instead of using Link: or Closes: tag to the actual bug report in the patch, she instead writes "Link to the bug report in my bio", as it is the norm in social media world. Here in the context, her bio is LinkedIn profile (IDK if there is a way to add arbitrary link there). The link in LinkedIn profile, when clicked, will list many links (including her usual social media campaigns and of course the bug report), which makes reviewers confused about which link to the bug report she means. In some cases, she may disambiguate by saying in the patch, "Link to the bug report no. 99", to refer to the specific link number. Is such practice a good idea? Thanks. -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara
