So now its done.

I used `report-emacs-bug' instead of
`gnus-bug'. I don't know if this was right or
wrong. Technically speaking, Message mode is
part of Gnus, written by
Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen and located in
/usr/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/gnus/message.el.

But Message mode is not only used by Gnus
people, but also by people with the poor taste
of using Rmail, the so-called "primary Emacs
mail-reader" according to RMS. [1]

So therefore I used `report-emacs-bug'.


PS. I hope no one takes offense from this
    little bubble :) All people mentioned have
    been CCd, as always. DS.
