I'm guessing you have handy emacs macros or other means to turn that
message ID and/or bug number to a browsable URL, but for others it
will save them time if you post a clickable URL also :)

How much is missed by those who don't participate in IRC?
I wonder how one would make a history book section to include
all the "the work is happening" venues :)

IMO zimoun sets a great example referencing resources, along with ludo,
(not to leave out people whose posts are fine with one or two URLs :)

I use this to browse a bug by  number:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/bash
# browse-bug

num="$(echo "$1"|tr -cs '0123456789' ' '|tr -d ' ')"

my_browser="${MY_BUG_BROWSER:-lynx}"
if [ -n "$num" ];then
    $my_browser "https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=$num";
else
    echo "\
Usage: [MY_BUG_BROWSER=<your preference>] browse-bug BUG_NUMBER (not '$1' -> 
'$num')
    BUG_NUMBER will be taken from \$1 word stripped of non-digits if any
    If you set MY_BUG_BROWSER to firefox-esr, you can run this in the 
background like
        browse-bug '#56669' & 
    but lynx will want interaction from you on stdin, so no '&'
    NB: if you Ctl-V the #, delete it or quote it, or bash will throw it away 
as comment.
"
    exit 1
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH :)
