Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] patch-id: use “patch ID” throughout

From: [email-masked]
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 15:25:59 +0100

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <[email-masked]>

The “Description” section decided to introduce and use the term “patch
ID” for the ID value itself.  Let’s use the same term on the options as
well.

Also make to sure to use bare “ID” instead of “id”.
