Linus recently stated he did not like Link: tags pointing to an
email thread on lore.

Also, checkpatch.pl is now complaining about Closes: tags instead
of Link: tags. A bug was never opened for this issue.

I did check the regzbot docs on how to mark this issue closed,
but didn't find a ready answer. Thank you for following up.
