Comment (by neverpanic):

 I added a deny rule in the Apache config because there where thousands of
 requests from bots crawling /browser, despite our
 [https://trac.macports.org/robots.txt robots.txt] explicitly disallowing
 it.

 Can we not change those links to use GitHub instead? Otherwise, it'll be
 an endless game of cat and mouse of me chasing who exactly is causing the
 load and blocking them using iptables. Unfortunately there's a limit to
 how much I can scale in this role.
