Searching by commit titles as a phrase against email subject (`s:') can probably make it easy w/o having to look up amlog or explicitly keep track of human-unmemorizable metadata such as Message-IDs.

Example: https://80x24.org/lore/pub/scm/git/git.git/365529e1ea19b44a7a253b780f3ae3a1cb2f081f/s/#merged
