Sorry for that. I was hoping to avoid using the signed upload mechanism
Greg was using by simply pointing the links to automatically generated
patches on cgit (the git.kernel.org interface).

Would it be ok to change the pattern matching here? Something like this
should work for both Greg's format and my own (and whatever may come
next):

grep -A1 "The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:" | tail -n1 | sed 's/\t//'
