+
+;; Introduction
+;; ============
+;; This program is for lisp package authors and is used to ease
+;; reporting of bugs. When invoked, reporter-submit-bug-report will
+;; set up a mail buffer with the appropriate bug report address,
+;; including a lisp expression the maintainer of the package can use
+;; to completely reproduce the environment in which the bug was
+;; observed (e.g. by using eval-last-sexp). This package is especially
+;; useful for my development of c++-mode.el, which is highly dependent
+;; on its configuration variables.
+;;
+;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.
+;; Here's an example usage:
+;;
+;; (defconst mypkg-version "9.801")
+;; (defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "mypkg-help@foo.com")
+;; (defun mypkg-submit-bug-report ()
+;; "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg"
+;; (interactive)
+;; (require 'reporter)
+;; (and (y-or-n-p "Do you really want to submit a report on mypkg? ")
+;; (reporter-submit-bug-report
+;; mypkg-maintainer-address
+;; (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version)
+;; (list 'mypkg-variable-1
+;; 'mypkg-variable-2
+;; ;; ...
+;; 'mypkg-variable-last))))
+
+;; Mailing List
+;; ============
+;; I've set up a mailing list to report bugs or suggest enhancements,
+;; etc. This list's intended audience is elisp package authors who are
+;; using reporter and want to stay current with releases. Here are the
+;; relevent addresses:
+;;
+;; Administrivia: reporter-request@anthem.nlm.nih.gov
+;; Submissions: reporter@anthem.nlm.nih.gov
