Hmm...  That's interesting.  It isn't attached to Savannah.  I will
try to figure out why not.

In the meantime this is what I changed the description of bug-bash to
say.  The last paragraph saying "There are no other GNU mailing lists
or gnUSENET newsgroups for BASH." has been removed.  The last two
paragraphs in the below were added to replace it.

  This list distributes, to the active maintainers of BASH (the Bourne
  Again SHell), bug reports and fixes for, and suggestions for
  improvements in BASH.  User discussion of BASH also occurs here.

  Always report the version number of the operating system, hardware,
  and bash (flag -version on startup or check the variable $BASH_VERSION
  in a running bash).

  The help-bash@gnu.org is a different list for discussion of bash and
  shell programming.

  General questions and discussion about GNU utilities may also be
  conducted on help-gnu-utils@gnu.org.

And in a similar way I added the following description to help-bash.

  Bash is the GNU Project's Bourne Again SHell.  This list is for
  asking questions about bash and shell programming.  Also available
  is htlp-gnu-utils@gnu.org for general questions about the shell
  utilities.

Any comments?
