Yeah, the big bold trunk link is pretty confusing. And I agree that
the project page is too busy and lacks focus.

We're _probably_ not going to ever have the source code tree on the
front page of the project like github. Even though it does some other
stuff, Github is primarily a code hosting system. Launchpad strives to
be much more.

As for this particular bug, I'm not sure what the next step is.
