Hmm... in grep's README-release, I count five URLs containing
the package name:

    http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/grep-master
    https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/grep/
    https://savannah.gnu.org/project/admin/editgroupfeatures.php?group=grep
    https://savannah.gnu.org/news/approve.php?group=grep
    http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/

When making a release, I usually mouse at least 3 of those
into a browser.  Having to deal with "generic" links like these
would be less useful to me:

    http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/PACKAGE-master
    https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/PACKAGE/
    https://savannah.gnu.org/project/admin/editgroupfeatures.php?group=PACKAGE
    https://savannah.gnu.org/news/approve.php?group=PACKAGE
    http://www.gnu.org/software/PACKAGE/manual/
