And to see how great this works just try to google the subject of this pr.
Even with older PRs it is not exactly pleasant experience (lots of
shady mailing list archives crammed with giant ads).
I assume that results from freebsd.org would come up first/high like
it happens for other projects (it's also a reason why setting up
unofficial mirror of gnats as suggested above would not help).
I'm not even sure if all PR categories are forwarded to mailing lists.
PS. My other gripe is that people routinely forget to include
bug-followup@ when responding to PR.
