In my experience this is a non-issue: you search google with 'distcc
connection refused' and it searches the list archives plus more
distribution-specific data or third-party data than will ever be
collected on the project site.  Google will infer the cross-site
links.

If you've been unfortunate enough to have a very confusable name for
your project this may be a problem.

I think the key thing is a wiki or some other means of publishing a site.
