Build logs are on IPv6-only hosts: it makes it difficult to sent such logs to other people

Build log URLs are IPv6-only, which makes them inaccessible for people
without IPv6.
One way to access IPv6-only sites is through the Tor network.
But what happens when such log needs to be sent to other parties, and
they also don't have IPv6?
Now I need to explain to them how to install Tor, and how to set up the
SOCKS5 proxy.
This bug has been rejected:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228442
but IMO it should be fixed, and IPv4 addresses should be available.
The advise "Please complain to your ISP" doesn't work in practice in
such situation.
