I guess now it's a judgement call: use 'bug-PKG' for all gnu packages, or
the more 'help-like' one if such list exists - 
which do you prefer? I'll update the file accordingly.


Regarding findutils:

interesting, on the website (and in the database) there's only 
'findutils-patches':
   http://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=findutils

---------
mysql> select list_name from mail_group_list,groups where 
mail_group_list.group_id = groups.group_id and groups.unix_group_name = 
'findutils';
+-------------------+ 
| list_name         |
+-------------------+
| findutils-patches |
+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)

Could be that someone created the mailing list manually long ago?
This can probably be fixed with a careful 'INSERT' to the database.
