You mis-described the bug.
You wrote:

It's the page with the list of current OpenDarwin projects. The  
"darwinports" header is missing a link. Should probably point to  
http://opendarwin.org/projects/darwinbuild/ .

Darwinports header is correctly linked to the darwinports project.  
The problem is with the darwinbuild header. William didn't  
understand what you wrote and decided to close the bug.
