Why not make LKML-Reference useful?

[Lin Ming]

What's LKML-Reference in the kernel git log?
In my understanding, it's a link to the original discussion of the
patch on LKML, for example

LKML-Reference: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128445596126705&w=2

But I never see such a link in the LKML-Reference of the git log.

$cd linux-2.6
$git log | grep LKML-Reference

    LKML-Reference: <201008300127.o7U1RC6Z044051@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    LKML-Reference: <20100913102541.20260.85700.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    LKML-Reference: <20100913121903.GB22238@darkstar>
    LKML-Reference:

    LKML-Reference: <4C8B2AFA.2000705@xxxxxxxxxx>
    LKML-Reference: <4C8B2A9A.1040303@xxxxxxxxxx>
    LKML-Reference: <1284150773.402.122.camel@laptop>
    LKML-Reference: <1284159350-19841-3-git-send-email-venki@xxxxxxxxxx>
    LKML-Reference: <1284159350-19841-2-git-send-email-venki@xxxxxxxxxx>
    LKML-Reference: <new-submission>
......

Those LKML-Reference are really useless.

Why not put a link in LKML-Reference?

Thanks,
