Hmm, I don't understand why that Lint job is failing, I think the Post-History header is in the format it's asking for?

I think it's unhappy about the trailing /28. Since it's the same thread that's already listed, I don't think you need a new Post-History entry at all.

Okay

[JelleZijlstra]

(But don't merge until all the authors approve.)

[cooperlees]

Thanks!

Yeah, so long as its in the same thread, no need to link to multiple individual messages (I did have it allow that for mailing list posts, though, since there may sometimes be a need for it and its harder to do by accident, whereas with Discourse the /<messagenum> can get automatically appended and unintentionally link deep within a thread without that being necessarily obvious). Assuming we implement #2587 , future versions of the linter will be able to give much more specific feedback, and perhaps even automatically fix unintentionally-over-specific links links like this, but if this is a problem, I'm of course happy to update it now to allow it.

Thanks, @dstufft ! And PR approvals with a message also indicating such seem to be a pretty solid strategy for documenting license acceptance, since they are relatively permanent (ish) and harder to mutate or "take back" compared to most other interactions.

We'll leave it to you to merge once @pradyunsg approves.
