I think that's probably the first time I've had a commit and a revert of
the commit in the same batch of thanks mails.

And the notification is not wrong, the commit was applied with that SHA,
it is in the tree.

So I'm not sure it's very common to have a commit & a revert in the tree
at the same time.


On the other hand being able to generate a mail for an arbitrary revert
would be helpful, ie. independent of any thanks state.

eg, picking a random commit from the past:

  e95ad5f21693 ("powerpc/head_check: Fix shellcheck errors")


If I revert that in my tree today, it'd be cool if I could run something
that would detect the revert, backtrack to the reverted commit, extract
the message-id from the Link: tag, and generate a reply to the original
submission noting that it's now been reverted.

In fact we could write a bot to do that across all commits ever ...

cheers
