I believe that's spelled pgsql-bugs(at)postgresql(dot)org(dot)

As one of the people who do most of the gruntwork for release notes,
I can tell you that that sort of fixed-format annotation is useless
and usually annoying. I can see what branches you fixed the bug in
anyway, from git_changelog's output. Actually useful information
of that sort would be commentary along the lines of "The bug exists
back to 8.4, but I only fixed it in 9.2 and up because <reason>."
Without the <reason>, you're just adding bloat to what's already
a pretty large file.
