When you post a patch with that type of message ID, why don't you
already include a suitable archive Link: inside the patch posting?

Then you don't have to rely on the maintainer to add the Link: tag when
they apply the patch. Many (kernel) maintainers do now, and pre-adding
the Link: tag means we maintainers should change our scripts to not
duplicate the Link: tag, but if you have a predictable Message-Id and
predictable archive then you ought to be able to already include link?
