I changed it to use the gnu.org URL.

What is the final decision here? Do we change the link to show off the http://www.gnu.org prefix or do we just leave it as is since it will be ages before we abandon octave.org, if ever?

I think the octave.org URLs should continue to work, and I will probably continue to direct people to bugs.octave.org or whatever because it is easier for me to remember, but it is OK with me if internally the links point to http://www.gnu.org.

Should go directly to the redirected page as given originally :-)
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/bugs.html

If we're using http://www.gnu.org then we should display that as the visible description as well as using it in the href. My understanding is we're moving away from octave.org

What do you propose the link should be updated to? It seems like the section "Making Your Bug Report Count" is the right sort of information to provide.

On page
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave&func=additem
there is a link http://www.octave.org/bugs.html which redirects to:
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/bugs.html
Can this be updated? Thanks.
