But I am.  Once we switch to bugzilla or (whatever the flavor of the
day is), we should remove send-pr from top-of-tree on all the active
branches and replace it with clear instructions for how to get to
bugzilla (and how to email yourself information to cut/paste into a
bugzilla ticket if we're really worried that people don't know how to
do that).

Yes, we'll be stuck with the old installations of send-pr, which we'll
have to handle.  Mark my words.. once the majority of submissions come
in via bugzilla, the old send-pr submissions will feel like a thorn in
our sides and we'll be wishing they'll die out faster.

Incidentally, did you know you can still subscribe/unsubscribe to
freebsd.org mailing lists using the majordomo interface?  I think.
And no, I'm not going to reverse engineer that one.  That is dying
with this round of updates.
