Hi, A small suggestion for the website:
1. Link to Pádraig's "gotchas" list 2. add <form> which searches the mailing lists (both coreutils@ and bug-coreutils@ together). I've been using this kind of <form> on my own website ( https://search.housegordon.org ) - perhaps putting it on coreutils' website will save some troubles to users. -assaf
