Libav's instance links the message id to

http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=<MESSAGE_ID>

see http://patches.libav.org/patch/9646/

I haven't submitted that patch since I'm sure if it's a good thing if
all patchwork instances link to a single mailing list archieve. The same
idea work of course for every archieve which can access messaes by
message id.

cheers, Janne
