Currently, grep Bugs tracker redirects to
http://debbugs.gnu.org/grep; grep webpage documents the bug-grep mailing list as the channel for reporting bugs.

Generally, such things are up to group's admins, not Savannah's ones.

Closing.

I went to this page:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=grep
At left, I see "Logout" as a link available to me. I take this to mean that I am signed in.

Under the Bugs heading, I see, in strikeout text, a Report New menu item.

I click it anyway. That takes me to a page that says only, "Error:
Action Unavailable: Project Membership is required to post on this tracker."

This is unhelpful. I take a guess: does it mean that I need a separate membership in the grap project? If so, there should be a link either on this error page or on the link above to the "grep Project" page. I don't see anything like that.

I have never had trouble like this when creating bug reports for the gmake project.

Thanks
