Nobody has suggested either of those things. I have suggested that they should be able to contain hotlinks to the man pages. If the server isn't there, you can't follow those links, but you can still run "man". It'd be nice to have a form-fill-out interface to send-pr as well, but you can still run "send-pr". And *nobody* has suggested that you use anything server dependant. That's a complete red herring.
