Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63589>. Thanks to Bjarni Ingi
Gislason for the report.
* ANNOUNCE: Update bug counts.
I also killed some pointless white space, refilled affected lines at 72
columns where convenient and non-disruptive to existing text flow, and
corrected a misspelling of Ralph Corderoy's surname.
