Those reports all include the hotlinks actually. The one for this problem was:

http://139.162.151.198/f/ext4/5bdefda69f39b2f2c56d9b67d5b7d9e2cc8dfd5f/

If you go to the stack trace then any line containing a kernel address
that can be addr2lined appears in green and clicking it should expand
a link to git.kernel.org. It does probably need javascript to work.

I'll get around to rerunning all the testcases soon on a recent kernel.
