I tend to agree with Tom on this, for better or worse, message-ID is
what we're using.

Further, we seem agreed that URLs are what we want to have in the
commits rather than just the message-ID.

The question on the table at the moment seems to be if we want to use
https://postgr.es/m/ or https://postgresql.org/message-id/ as the
prefix. Personally, I don't really care and would prefer we just decide
something and move on to more interesting technical discussion. I don't
really agree with the complaints levied against https://postgr.es/m/,
but I'm also not particularly bothered by one long line in each commit
message.

Thanks!

Stephen
