One thing I have seen which #2 would have helped with was that during
a CF, a patch author posted a trivial patch to -hackers and I
committed it. I didn't know the patch author had added a CF entry to
the *next* CF. I seldom think to look at the next CF page during a CF.
The entry was closed by the patch author in this case.

For that reason, I think #2 would be useful.

I don't really object, but I think a better aim would be to merge
CFbot with CF so that we could get to those places from the CF entry.
