It was literally there in this case. We had multiple links, and you
may just have been overwhelmed by the pure cornucopia of links.

In this case is was the third one:

    Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZG%2Fa+nrt4%2FAAUi5z@bombadil.infrad=
ead.org/
[3]

which linked to that thread.

It's the links to pure patch submissions that are useless (ie the
"this is where I sent the patch"). Those lore can find for you
automatically.

Links to actual threads with background and test commentary are
useful, and I add those myself. There were several of them.
