Yes, admin/notes/repo and admin/notes/commits.

The key issue here is "tracking development".  What exactly do you
mean by that, and how is that related to the issue at hand?

I wasn't talking to people who "track the development", I was talking
to contributors, whether actual or potential, to Emacs development and
maintenance.  Such contributors are expected, among other things, to
fix bugs when they see them, and bugs that exist on the release branch
should be fixed there (and later merged to master).

In this case, the leftover references to bzr are "bugs" on the branch
as well, because the next stable release will be made out of that
branch, and we don't want to disseminate incorrect information about
our repository.
