Right, I completely forgot that you were already doing that. So jumping to the thread for a commit is basically:

  $browser $(git notes --ref=amlog show $commit |
             perl -pe 's{Message-Id: <(.*)>}{https://public-inbox.org/git/$1/t}')

(Or whichever archive you prefer to use). Thanks for the reminder.
