How about pointing to the patch directly?

https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commit/0ad07c8104eb5c12dfcb86581c1cc657183496cc

No worries - this was all a prelude to me hinting at the email-based
talking to the bot :-)

Sounds like a plan.

It would probably even be easier for the bot if the reply-mail contained
specially-formatted hints like:

TEST-WITH-BELOW-PATCH: ...

or so.

Btw, another nice aspect of this talking back to the bot is that before
I, as a recipient of the bug report, go and try to prepare a guest or
find a machine to reproduce properly, I can send a quick diff to the bot
in the meantime and say, "try this on the guest. I have a hunch it might
fix it."

Cool. Ping me if you need testers.

Thanks!
