I'd actually like a forwarded message that I can directly feed to "git am", with Sign-offs and Acked-bys, but being explicit would be good enough.

I often do not have enough mental and time bandwidth to hunt for messages more than 2 weeks old in the list archive, so unless the response is direct reply to the original, I'd rather not rely on the threading feature. IOW, I can move to grandparent by typing ^ just fine, but uncles and aunts are harder to find without reloading my MUA full message archive for N weeks worth.
