=== Problem ===
The `man` page and `--help` output for `file` both give an incorrect bug reporting location:
$ /usr/bin/file --help | tail -2
Report bugs to http://bugs.gw.com/
$ man 1 file | fgrep -A 2 BUGS
BUGS
Please report bugs and send patches to the bug tracker at http://bugs.gw.com/ or the mailing list at ⟨file@mx.gw.com⟩ (visit http://mx.gw.com/mailman/listinfo/file first to subscribe).
As can be seen quite quickly by visiting the site, http://bugs.gw.com/ is defunct. The correct location according to the GitHub mirror of the `file` repository (at https://github.com/file/file#readme) is:
Mailing List: file@astron.com
Mailing List archives: http://mailman.astron.com/pipermail/file/
Bug tracker: http://bugs.astron.com/
E-mail: christos@astron.com
Build Status: https://travis-ci.org/file/file

1. Please backport the fix to the `man` page located at the commit https://github.com/file/file/commit/5d6eba6f3281887de8263fdc481daabc98007945
2. Please correct address at bottom of `file --help` output (located here in the source tree: https://github.com/file/file/blob/master/src/file.c#L643-L661)
2. If you know how to submit a patch, the upstream bug report for `file --help` output is at https://bugs.astron.com/view.php?id=33
