OK, this doesn't really need any hooks at all (the tip-bot is not a hook). The committer is, and *has to be* responsible for getting the unique string into the Link: tag, through whatever means they feel is appropriate.
Based on the previous message, I'm going to modify the bot to recognize the pattern:
Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/tip-`ranpwd -l 24`@git.kernel.org
... to override the Message-ID. It seems like the least ugly of a lot of ugly options.
