This is obviously getting in the way of things.  I think we'll have to
abandon the ideal of having mailing list message numbers in commit log
entries and in ChangeLog entries (at least as initially committed).
Let's just each use our own sequence numbers, and rely on grep to tie
the CVS changes to the mailing list message.
