Thanks, I had no idea that this exists! What does it state for
non-development versions (official, prebuilt pretests or binaries, for
instance)?

I guess it is (almost) good enough. I will probably advise
emacs-version to include that info, though. Would it be helpful for the
devs if I do? Not all bug-related messages are created with
report-emacs-bug. Use case: a message to the bug-gnu-emacs list,
stating that this-and-this bug can be reproduced on that-and-that Emacs
version. It might be helpful for me if emacs-version included that info
automatically.
