Ah then I guess my link tag should have been

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230523125116.1669057-1-trix@redhat.com/

I hope the author of
commit 44c31888098a ("checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links")
has coordinated with the maintainer of b4, so that b4 recognizes Closes tags.
b4 v0.12.2 does not pick up Closes tags.
