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 bug-groff@gnu.org 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 bug-groff@gnu.org 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.
