Well, first of all, some people's mail or news clients are so feature bloated that you can even search/grep/filter for post titles such as the ones listed readily in Junio's "What's cooking" posts.

For commits in git.git (with pu!), Thomas provides a notes based mapping from commits to message ids. With

[remote "trast"]
        url = git://repo.or.cz/git/trast.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/notes/*:refs/notes/remotes/trast/*

git log --show-notes=remotes/trast/full

will give something like below. Neat, eh? (Even neater when not broken by a MUA).

Kudos, Thomas!

    Make <identifier> lowercase in Documentation

    Leaving uppercase abbreviations (e.g. URL) and an identifier named after
    an upercase env variable (CVSROOT) in place, this adjusts the few
    remaining cases and fixes an unidentified identifier along the way.
