You are looking at builtin/log.c::make_cover_letter()?  Patches
welcome, but I think you'd need a bit of preparatory refactoring
to allow gen_message_id() be called for all messages _before_ this
function is called, as currently we generate them as we emit each
patch.

Many people around here do not want to repeat the mistake of relying
too much on one provider.  Listing Message-IDs may be a good idea,
listing URLs that are tied to one provider is less so.
