This particular bug was not fixed.

I removed the spurious "ten" and will just send 6.9 file again. Thanks (to
Daniel Janus I suppose?). Would it be useful to correct the version 6.7 too?

It would be useful to add translator's address but currently I do not see any
place in the .po file to add it. It looks like "Report bugs to <%s>.\n"
actually uses Report-Msgid-Bugs-To header field value (address@hidden).
It could be "Report bugs to %s. Translation bugs to %s." instead and use
Last-Translator or Language-Team fields (Rafał Maszkowski <address@hidden> or
Polish <address@hidden>) but adding this is a job
for the coreutils maintainer.
