Yes, well, I've passed your concern about this on in the past. The response was
to add a link at the top of the IESG Activities/Actions page, the logic being
that the status tracker is an IESG entity. (I note that a link to the RFC
Editor queue appears in a similar position under the "RFC Pages" link.) I
personally would prefer to have a link on the main IETF page but nobody else
seems to think this is appropriate.

OTOH, there are these things called bookmarks. You only have to find it
once...
