Details:

Two years ago, commit ef25e6a7
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=ef25e6a7> added a quote
to tmac/groff_me.7.man sourced to the URL
https://minnie.tuhs.org//pipermail/tuhs/2018-November/015412.html.  Even with
the extraneous / removed, this URL today returns a 404; the correct URL now is
https://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2018-November/017033.html.

This could mean one of two things:

* The URL was mispasted into the groff_me.7.man source
* The URL has changed since 2018

The former seems far less likely, but is also the preferable explanation,
because the latter tells us that URLs to that archive are not guaranteed to be
stable (ironic, for a site archiving discussion about preserving electronic
history), and the interface does not appear to offer a permalink.

That, however, is a hypothetical future problem; the current problem can be
solved by applying the attached patch.

The URL appears in comments only, which (with bug #55091 deferred) don't even
get shipped, so this bug is at the very low end of the "minor" spectrum.
