I'm afraid pointing to list archives for explanations on patches isn't a good
approach. Once committed, such links will not be easy to (re-)establish.
Other projects are quite a bit more demanding towards the content of commit
messages, but I guess some minimal level of explanation wants to be in the
average binutils patch as well.
