The other GNU *utils have added addresses.  There should be
consistency.

Mainly I recall often using GNU tools, finding out much about who
wrote it (i.e. GNU) was tough without the source code.

E.g.
$ ed --help
Usage: ed [OPTION]... [FILE]

  -G, --traditional          use a few backward compatible features
  -p, --prompt=STRING        use STRING as an interactive prompt
  -s, -, --quiet, --silent   suppress diagnostics
      --help                 display this help
      --version              output version information

Start edit by reading in FILE if given.  Read output of shell command
if FILE begins with a `!'.
$ man ed|grep -i gnu
Reformatting ed(1), please wait...
$ ed --version
GNU ed version 0.2

Oh, finally
