Lore links are useful when a maintainer is applying someone else's patches into their git tree. I think that's what Christian was thinking about. In this case, however, where the maintainer is the one autoring/sending the patches the patches, there is the chicken-and-egg prblem that you've described, and so I don't understand why Christian has made that request. Usually I just construct the lore URL from the Message ID from the patch series, but what I've seen other olks do for very large patch sets is that they'll also publish the patches on git, for example from Darrick's recent fuse/iomap patches, he included a link in the patchset cover letter to: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=fuse-iomap-cache - Ted
