Yes, but it would still be nice if the list could be viewed in a web
browser so that it's possible to click on a commit ID and bring up the
details of that commit, rather than having to endlessly copy/paste to
view the proposed cherry-picks.

How about the attached XML file? It's almost as simple as your plain
text above, but just has some noise at the start of the file, which is
embedded XSL to turn it into an HTML page with the desired links when
viewied in a web browser.

I believe it's supported by all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox,
Opera, Safari) except (of course) IE. (It seems like MS are still not
interested in implementing this particular part of a 15-year-old spec:

.)
