It seems you sent this bug report to bug-automake by bcc.
This confuses debbugs.gnu.org, which has no idea which package the
report should be associated with. Hence your message ended up on the
help-debbugs mailing list. I have assigned your report to automake, so
that this message and any future
Hi,
You change this by going to the administrative interface in mailman
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/admin/automake
Then in the General Options page, edit the introductory description
section and then press submit. Changes should be instantaneous.
Actually, that was probably too glib a response. The version number
information is probably used in other places, and needs to be sortable
so that the fixed/found commands can work. So I don't think arbitrary
version strings can work. You could use the date of a commit perhaps.

BTW, Ouch! I see that my previous reply presenting the patch
has erroneously opended a new, spurious bug report (#7345) in
the tracker! Ralf, could you please you close that report as
invalid?
Not sure how that happened,
