Now that emacs-pretest-bug is just an alias for emacs-devel and no longer
archived, how about the following changes to avoid confusion and discourage
crossposting?

  @cindex reporting bugs
    The best way to send a bug report is to mail it electronically to the
  Emacs maintainers at @email{bug-gnu-emacs@@gnu.org}, or to
! @email{emacs-pretest-bug@@gnu.org} if you are pretesting an Emacs beta
  release.  (If you want to suggest a change as an improvement, use the
  same address.)

If we are thinking about setting up a new bug tracking system, then we 
should keep the bug reporting address distinct from emacs-devel, I think.

Please don't do that.  We may want to separate the lists some day;
please do not forcelose that option.  It would gain nothing except
a tiny simplification.
