Oops. Yes, I missed that.

 FWIW, I only said _at least_ you need consent from them, and it was not
 meant to be an exhaustive list.  blame -C -C -C may tell you more.

Fair enough.

 You are the party that wants this relicensing, not me.  Please do not
 burden me with excessive legwork for you, but help me a bit more
 proactively to make this happen.

I hope you see I haven't asked you to do any additional legwork. A
suggestion was made to construct a patch, which I did. You always have
the option of accepting or rejecting the patch as you see fit.

 Oh, I never said do not use message ID.  I said message ID alone is not
 good enough for most people.  Users of gmane and notmuch who know the
 tool they use would benefit from having message ID, _too_, but even if you
 were a user of notmuch, unless you have subscribed to the list and have
 your own archive, you wouldn't be able to say show id:frotz.

Certainly. My assumption was that in a commit message for git, readers
would naturally assume that a message ID with no additional
specification could be found in the archives of the standard git mailing
list, (which is the case here). Otherwise, I would have qualified the
message ID more specifically.

 Meanwhile, a message ID lives forever and can be used in multiple
 contexts.

 Oh, I never said do not use message ID.  I said message ID alone is not
 good enough for most people. 

FWIW, gmane allows links of the form

http://mid.gmane.org/7vaav8hpfo@alter.siamese.dyndns.org

which have the advantage of being simple to use, and still contain the
necessary information to get the message in case gmane dies.

Without substantial analysis, blame alone is not sufficient - it
does not show which work was original, or derivative.
