There was a point where Gnus was merged into Emacs. Do we want that to
be the separation point? Or do we want all non-trunk reports to go to
Gnus only? I'm not sure.

I wondered how that worked. Thank you for the help.

We can change `gnus-bug' to add the Package line according to the
version logic from above.

Sorry, I don't know the answers to those questions.
