This should not be done through a comment. The GNU Coding Standards
specify two ways through which a program can tell where "upstream" is:
* at the end of the --help output
<https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dhelp.html>
* optionally, in the first line of --version output
<https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dversion.html>
For example, many of Gnulib's build-aux/ program have a --help output
that ends in
Send patches and bug reports to <bug-gnulib@gnu.org>.
The following programs have a --help that has such instructions:
compile
config.guess
config.sub
depcomp
do-release-commit-and-tag
git-version-gen
gnupload
gnu-web-doc-update
increment-serial
install-sh
macos-compile
mdate-sh
mkinstalldirs
move-if-change
vc-list-files
The following programs don't. I can do those that I created.
For the others: volunteers wanted!
