I forgot to mention the 2-level hierarchy that I have set up, where you
can look at PRs starting with e.g. "disk/driver" and then drill down to
a page that references all the related PRs by manpage.  It may have been
just as well, since the report had also gotten stale.  However, it is once
again up-to-date:

Now created:

  http://people.freebsd.org/~linimon/studies/prs/prs_for_tag_panic.html

Finally, I have fixed other problems, such as broken links, in other various
pages under
