  $ sed --version | grep bug
  E-mail bug reports to: <address@hidden>.

  $ sed --help | grep bug
  E-mail bug reports to: <address@hidden>.

  $ man sed
  E-mail bug reports to: <address@hidden>.  Be sure to include
  the word ``sed'' some‐ where in the ``Subject:'' field.

  $ info sed 'Reporting Bugs'
  Email bug reports to <address@hidden>.  Be sure to include the word
  "sed" somewhere in the `Subject:' field.  Also, please include the
  output of `sed --version' in the body of your report if at all
    possible.

Okay, so that last one isn't the same as the first three.  :-)

However sending reports to the address@hidden address as you have
done here is fine.  It is an alias to bug-gnu-utils.  So it works out
to be the same thing.

Please put "sed" in the subject line and give the subject a useful
subject line so that it will be seen by the maintainer.

Please read the section on commonly reported bugs that are not bugs in
the info documentation.

  info sed 'Reporting Bugs'
