Except that AFAIK Bruno isn't subscribed to bug-gnu-utils (not that
can can see from the subscriber list) and relies upon getting the
reports from bug-gnu-gettext through the alias instead.  So for
gettext at least it is important to make sure that the address
bug-gnu-gettext is used instead of bug-gnu-gettext or Bruno won't see
it.  Bruno, if you actually see this message and disagree then please
let us know.  :-)

The gettext README file says:

  Send comments and bug reports to
                address@hidden

It is always best to use the documented address.

That is unfortunate.  A historical legacy.
