We can change this one to whatever we want. I think it's best the way it
is now, it should help direct users to get help or report bugs, which
are often conflated.

The last is completely under the control of Autoconf, so it will change
when Autoconf 2.70 is released.

If we really want to, we could use the bootstrap_epilogue function hook
to postprocess the output of Autoconf, but I would rather leave it and
wait for Autoconf 2.70.
