Best way to get that done is submit a PR, with patches...
The reason they haven't temporarily changed the send-pr.html page, but
have disabled it through the apache config, is that the whole
www.freebsd.org web site is rebuilt out of CVS every night. No-one
involved apparently either wanted to or had sufficient privileges to
commit a temporary "out to lunch" page to CVS. Especially as they
would only have to remove it fairly shortly afterwards. The apache
config is not in the main FreeBSD CVS repo. as far as I can see, and
it probably doesn't get auto-rebuilt in the same way.
Cheers,
Matthew
