user used reportbug to file imagemagick bug
maintainer responded that in the readme.debian files it says to report
bugs yourself.
user then tries the addresses in the readme files which fail.
Therefore /usr/share/doc/imagemagick/ needs to have warnings about
invalid addresses there, and a warning that the final answer is if you
want to report an imagemagick bug, you must be a member of the
imagemagick mailing list, else forget about reporting your bug.

Package: imagemagick
Version: 4:5.4.4.5-1
Severity: important
The debian provider says report bugs to the upstream provider.
/usr/doc/imagemagick/README.txt.gz says to use
http://www.simplesystems.org/ImageMagick/bugs.html
which doesn't exist.
It also says "The author is [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
which bounces.
When one finally gets to www.imagemagick.org
it says
How You Can Help
Describes how you can contribute to the ImageMagick project.
Reporting Bugs
Bugs should be reported by posting to the Magick-bugs mailing
list. But first you must subscribe to the list!
Forget it. I give up. With my modem I can't subscribe to a list just to report
a bug.
