Is this really a problem?  The main www.freebsd.org webpage has a link
for 'view a bug report'.  Also, when you received the notification
that the PR has been posted (e.g. by someone assigning the PR to your
non-freebsd.org address, or forwarding the mail), it will have
included an explicit URL to view the PR.
