Yes/No it's lore.kernel.org/r/ (and not lore.kernel.org/list-foo/).
You're right I'll rephrase next time.

Hmm. The webui already provides this (and other things you likely want
to add) when you show the details for a tracked regression or visit its
individual page:

https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/mainline/
https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/regression/20220114105620.GK18506@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I see that it would be convenient for developers and less error prone if
I could mention the proper Link: tag in mails like the one you quoted,
that's why I considered that already. But it would make the regression
tracker's job (aka my "job", which I'm kinda doing in my spare time) yet
again somewhat harder, as I see no easy solution to automate that when
writing these mails (which I do with thunderbird, currently). That's why
I decided to not do that for now, as that job is already hard enough and
I don't want to get burned out by this a second time; and those link
tags are something that were expected from developers even before I came
with regzbot.

But well, maybe over time I can up with some idea to make this easy for
me, then I'll gladly provide that service. One easy way to make this
happen would be: regzbot could send a confirmation mail when it adds a
regression to the list of tracked issues and mention the Link: tag
there. But that would be yet another mail in all out inboxes. But maybe
such a mail would be good for other reasons, too.

Ciao, Thorsten
