I think we should point to a more specific bugreport URL.
Currently it's http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug. If we want
an URL on qemu.org, we can either add a redirect from qemu.org to the
wiki, or move the contents to qemu.org (it's static enough that it
shouldn't be a big issue). I've sent out a patch for the latter.

I agree it's better to be consistent.
