=== Problem ===

The `man` page and `--help` output for `file` both give an incorrect bug
reporting location:

    $ /usr/bin/file --help | tail -2

         Please report bugs and send patches to the bug tracker at 
http://bugs.gw.com/ or the mailing list at ⟨f...@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:

    Bug tracker: http://bugs.astron.com/
    E-mail: chris...@astron.com
    Build Status: https://travis-ci.org/file/file

=== Solution ===

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, they don't accept GitHub pull requests, 
but the upstream bug report for `file --help` output is at
