You think I have all the answers? ;-) I just think the download

I understand your scheme. My point is that such an index isn't
necessary, for reasons I must have outlined in a message that hasn't
appeared here. Briefly to recap: someone doesn't turn up at mozilla.org
(as they might at, say, Freshmeat) and say "Hmm. What shall I download
today? What have they got. Here's a list. A bug tracking system? Nope,
don't need one of those. A web browser thing? That might be fun. I'll
try that."

You have:

My assertion is that there's no need for this to be so long.
http://mozilla.org/software/mozilla/0.9.3/ would be fine. (Which is what
we have at the moment, if you s/software/releases/.)

Indeed. I just had a good idea and wanted to get it down.

You should be at the Bugzilla project page. How you get there is a
navigational issue.

People killed in WTC tragedy (approx.): 5,000
People who die every day of starvation: 24,000
Each of those deaths is more preventable than one caused by a terrorist.
So when does the Western World declare war on hunger, disease and poverty?
