in repository groff.

commit 81f7ba3bc0b8fa06ce64dec0eb4a12639abd35a7
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date:   Tue Nov 6 08:52:22 2018 -0500

    Remove instructions to file bugs via bug-groff.
    
        Patch courtesy of Dave Kemper.  His comments, massaged into GNU
        changelog format, follow.
    
        [The patch] also fixes a couple of trivial errors in grammar,
        punctuation, etc., that I spotted in the process[].
    
        * PROJECTS: Since the context of address@hidden in this file
        is not reporting bugs, instead of changing it to point to the
        bug tracker, I changed the address to that of the groff
        discussion list.  (However, I don't know whether this list is
        configured to accept email from nonsubscribers, so this may not
        be a viable change.)
    
        * README:
        * doc/webpage.ms: These files already recommended the bug tracker
        as the bug-reporting mechanism; they said using the method in
        the file BUG-REPORT was an alternative.  As BUG-REPORT also now
        points to the bug tracker, I've tweaked this wording.
    
        * doc/groff.texi: The address address@hidden was used only
        once in this file, not as an address to report bugs, but as the
        email address for Werner Lemberg.  I would take this to mean he
        doesn't want his actual email address in public documentation,
        except that it appears in many other places throughout groff
        source code and documentation alike.  So it doesn't seem
        unreasonable to put it in this file as well.  I will email him
        to confirm that this is OK. [I went ahead and removed it; we
        don't need an email address in the document, IMO. --GBR]
    
        * INSTALL.extra: Like README, this cited the file BUG-REPORT as
        an alternative mechanism. I removed this wording entirely.
    
        * BUG-REPORT:
        * contrib/groffer/README:
        * contrib/mm/README:
        * contrib/mm/m.tmac:
        * contrib/mm/mm/0.MT:
        * contrib/mm/mm/4.MT:
        * contrib/mm/mm/5.MT:
        * contrib/mm/mm/ms.cov:
        * contrib/mm/mse.tmac:
        * src/devices/xditview/README: Tweak wording and direct readers
        to Savannah bug tracker instead of bug-groff mailing list.
