Save the file and quit the editor once you have completed the missing fields.\nbashbug will notify you of any problems with the report and ask for confirmation before\nsending it. By default the bug report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian\nBash maintainers. The recipients can be changed by giving a comma separated list of\nbug-report-email-addresses.\n\nIf you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for\nconfirmation before a bug report is sent.\n",
