The help-gnu-utils mailing list would be the better place to ask for
help with "how to use" types of questions.

That page is a little unclear.  It says:

  If you would like any new feature to be included in future versions
  of Diffutils, please send a request to <address@hidden>.
  ...
  If you think you have found a bug in Diffutils, then please send as
  complete a report as possible to <address@hidden>.

I don't think that is quite right.  Certainly this list is for bug
reports.  but help-gnu-utils isn't just for enhancement requests.  I
will see about getting that text updated.
