Hi Drew,
Do you intend to keep working on this by any chance? I'm writing a code review tool that relies on Jujutsu's change-id header for its "killer feature". It will also support different code review platforms as backends, including GitHub, mailing lists and more. As long as mailing lists do not preserve the change-id header though, users of them will fundamentally have a degraded experience.
That is to say, your efforts here are much appreciated. :-)
Best, Remo
