Yes, I figured out the right URL.

Well, last week I had just submitted an item to the soureware.org URL.
So when I see we are now supposed to submit to the redhat URL, I think
"oh no, I wasted all my time submitting to this abandoned gas station
in the desert or something". Upon further investigation I found the
two are the same, but soureware.org is the canonical address. So
please use the canonical address, http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ .

OK, as long as there's some path from each man page to the new
reporting_code_bugs page, though indirect.
