I think `Usenet' is more appropriate, but I don't have strong feelings about it.
That said, does anyone actually *read* bug reports sent to the newsgroup?
Now, that's a good question. I occasionally read news using
eternal-september.org. Is the bidirectional gateway between the mailing
list and gnu.bash.bug still working, and, if so, where does it send the
posts?
I can't imagine anyone posting new bug reports to gnu.bash.bug, so maybe
it is time to remove it from the man pages.
