I don't see any way around that, because "the default" is a moving target.
That is, while you're logged in to savannah, if you specify bug parameters,
those parameters continue to apply to subsequent bug displays until explicitly
changed.

That is, click on savannah's "Bugs -> Browse" menu item to see the full bug
list, then view a shorter list by specifying a specific value for some field.
After that, click "Bugs -> Browse" again.  You're not taken back to the full
list, but to the shorter one, even though the URL does not specify this
restriction.

So for a URL intending to show a specific bug list, it has to specify all
parameters, because it doesn't know what state your last search left you in.
