If they knew about it, they'd probably have fixed it.  Also it is
important to report problems one encounters so that the number of
reports is in some relation with the number of times people experience
the problem: a bug reported only once is not likely to receive much
attention.

There is already a link "Read the AUCTeX manual" which contains all of
that information and more.
