For the stuff flying by me, I've been adding the:
Fixes: <12-char hash>: ('Offending patch subject')
On patches fixing a regression. It helps the stable team (when Cc
stable is also added) and in your scenario, you could grep the commits
for the result of your bisect.

We've also been autogenerating a tag:
Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<Message-Id>
For all patches that points to the email the patch came from. Not
exactly what you were looking for, but nothing prevents someone from
replying to that thread a year later with a regression report.
I've also been contemplating adding
Coverletter: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<First Reference Msg-Id>
for large series where the patch submitter has done a thorough writeup
in the coverletter.
thx,
Jason.
