This seems fine ; that purpose is partially served (and duplicated) by the patch commit messages (if used). Actually, it's already possible to add an "annotation" to a given message-id. I've just added this here: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/35/2800/ I think this that feature is rarely used, but I can see the value in using it more, for long threads. If you really wanted to make an "abstract" not associated with any message-id, I think it would be implemented simply by removing the restriction that an message-id must be specified and must match an existing message in the thead. -- Justin
