Since this section refers to the possibility of forwarding
'[email protected]' to another site. I think it is clearer to be
explicit and add '@gnu.org' for these email addresses.
Here is the updated patch.

@cindex help for users, mailing list for
Some GNU programs with many users have another mailing list,
-@samp{help-@var{package}.org}, for people to ask other users for help.
+@samp{help-@var{package}@@gnu.org}, for people to ask other users for help.
If your program has many users, you should create such a list for it.
For a fairly new program, which doesn't have a large user base yet, it
is better not to bother with this.

If you wish, you can also have a mailing list

Any other mailing lists you find useful can also be created.
