Well, I agree it is confusing. So I have discussed privately about
this with Arnd (on IRC):

<rperier> What is the real usage of the "Link:" tag ? it is mainly
used as background informations for referencing archives or patches on
lore.k.o  , but it can also be used for referencing something else or
not ?
(like information for a board)
[...]
<arnd> right, it's pretty much never wrong to add a Link: tag for the
patch submission that was picked up, but you can also add it for any
other reference, e.g.issue trackers or datasheets that may be relevant

Which replies to the question, so it is okay for me ;)
