Also, be a bit more accessible by using words rather than a link in the URI

6743b6fbc8 This is no general 'mh' port. There is no only japanese/mh.
The article references a number of old aspects include, but not limited to pkg_*, incorrect package names on the CDROM, and books or links which no longer exist.

Finally, there is not much unique to MH on FreeBSD and we do not host tutorials for all software.

42cdffddc5 There is an ongoing effort to replace GPL portions of FreeBSD with free
software alternatives.  The statement that GPL is acceptable is no
longer correct.

The surrounding documentation is actually more strict than it should be
(for example, we accept the CDDL license).  However, this is not in the
scope of this change.

079b331ee0 Partially convert the pr-guidelines article to the bugzilla world. This
is intentionally incomplete as the bugzilla states and categories are
not yet firm, and requires more precise wordsmihing.
