I completely agree that it would be nice to have that mentioned, but I fear that for marketing reasons the two names "Reproducible Builds" and "Bootstrappable Builds" are a barrier for dropping a quick link to a website, since now there's two.
Thank you for your amazing work though! If it'd been me, I'd have linked to both (and will probably do in my dissertation).

Cheers,
Marcel
