What is the purpose of all these links in a patch changelog?

This patch is somewhat difficult to apply, as a result of:

But the real problem is that you seem to have ignored my last message.
The purpose of the front page isn't to create a nice-looking sidebar, it
is the entry point to our documentation as a whole.  I am all for a
better sidebar, but this is not the way to do it.
