That's great to hear.

I recently made those links predictable based on only the ID of the CF
entry. So they won't get stale, and I would want to send them straight
away (even if that means that they might return a 404 until cfbot
actually pushes the patches to github). The links would be:

https://cirrus-ci.com/github/postgresql-cfbot/postgresql/cf/$CFENTRYID

https://github.com/postgresql-cfbot/postgresql/compare/cf/$CFENTRYID~1...cf/$CFENTRYID

Agreed. I'll start with that, since that should be very easy.
