From the Zulip thread https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/224082-triagebot/topic/rustbot.3A.20issue.20links.20discouraged.3F/with/524928862 it came up that using `www.github.com` rather than `github.com` will prevent backlinks from being made from commits. I tested this out and indeed they don't get linked, but it seems like the bot still flags them https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/142753#issuecomment-2989283519. I used a `www` link in the commit message and a non-`www` link in the PR description.
