(In the event that they do, should whoever follows bug-gnu-emacs refer
these users to emacs-orgmode?)

I wouldn't be so categoric; it is my impression that there are a number
of lurkers on bug-gnu-emacs who skim through reports that touch on
topics they are interested in[1], and will occasionally pop up to help
the OP.

At least I know I try to do so (cf. bug#41364, about org-mode as it
happens).


[1] I'm saying this based on off-list discussions that sometimes sprout
off bug such reports…  and based on the fact that I do that myself.
