Hi Bruno,

I ran only the commands I mentioned in that report.
I performed no other filtering.  Note however that the command
I used there was an early version.  It did not handle
the case of a single quote (e.g., "doesn't") in the RHS.
This longer version of the command does handle that:

git ls-files|misspellings -f -|perl -nl \
  -e '/^(.*?)\[(\d+)\]: (\w+) -> "(.*?)"$/ or next;' \
  -e '($file,$n,$l,$r)=($1,$2,$3,$4); $q="'\''"; $r=~s/$q/$q\\$q$q/g;'\
  -e 'print "sed -i $q${n}s!$l!$r!$q $file"'

Both are already fixed at least in gnulib's texinfo.tex.

Maybe later (but anyone else is encouraged to do it).

Just reported.

It's already fixed there.
