Please drop the parentheses around the last phrase (but not the last
phrase itself).

Message-ID alone is not a good way to help people locate the request.
Please at least mention what mailing list the message was sent to; better
yet, do so like this:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.notmuch.general/1389/focus=140156

so that people can see the consent from the primary author (that is where
the focus is), the original request (that can be seen by looking at its
immediate parent), and messages with consent from other contributors, all
in one place.

And a sign-off ;-).

Thanks.
