A PR is better because it is kept in a database and not as easily lost 
or forgotten.

Tangentially, the web version of send-pr is easier to use:
http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html

Just remember to add a .txt extension to patch filenames 
("patch.diff.txt") so the web form will accept them.

Thanks!
