Good to know.

Can't the past discussions be directly updated by sending an extra email
that links back to the new commit?

What about the message ID? It should also be unique enough to link to
the relevant ML thread. (it is a bit annoying that lists.gnu.org does
not support easy search via link id, unlike e.g.
87r13n5muk.fsf@gnus.org/">https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87r13n5muk.fsf@gnus.org/).
