It is just a log of Bug activity, which has nothing to do with the Products
or the Distributions or the DistroReleases or the DistroArchReleases or the
ProductSeries or the Registrant of the Product/Distribution/DistroRelease etc.

Why should it? The only rationale I can see is to notify people that the URL
has changed. A better solution to this use case is to ensure that old bug
