Please, no external references like that. The best option is to fully
include the explanation here so that a future software archeology
student (note, this might be yourself in a years time) can find all
relevant information in the git history.

Or, if you _really_ _really_ have to refer to external sources, use:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/${msg_id}

which is a controlled URL and can be made to point to any archive
(currently, and sadly, lore.kernel.org).

Also, since it includes the whole msg_id, people can trivially find the
email in their local archive.

While I agree that lkml.org is a _MUCH_ saner interface than lore (which
causes eye and brain cancer for just looking at it), it is a _really_
flaky website and the url contains no clues for finding it in the local
archive.
