Please use the format:

Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-`ranpwd -l 24`@git.kernel.org
^

... with an "n" for "new" instead of "r" for "reference" instead.

This allows the bot to distinguish a "new submission" link from a
*reference* to a message that was created as a result of a new submission!
