Well, the patch queue maintained by Bruce has always been in his domain.
And regarding "the company domain", I note that that string is part of a
Message-Id, generated by the patch submitter's machine, so entirely out
of Bruce's (or anyone else's) control.

Note that we will have permanent URLs by Message-Id in our archives soon
too: if I have my way, they will look like

http://archives.postgresql.org/msgid/44DA31B1(dot)3090700(at)enterprisedb(dot)com

or something similar.
