Bug#856691: Minor tweaks to webpages about the bug-tracking system

[dg1727 <dg1727@protonmail.com>]

Package:  www.debian.org

Severity:  minor

Can the following 3 things be clarified on the website: 

 * The item in the e-mails below about X-Debbugs-No-Ack & other pseudo-headers. 

 * On https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer there is a Table-of-Contents entry

that says:  "Recording that you have passed on a bug report".  This can sound

like "pass" in the Python programming language, i.e., "ignored."  Maybe this

can be reworded like "Recording that you have notified someone else of a bug

report". 

 * On https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting , about 2/3 of the way down, it

says "If wish to report" instead of "If you wish to report". 

Thanks.

The psuedoheader parsing code is a bit different from the header parsing

code, and requires that there is a content after the colon. [This

limitation doesn't exist for the headers, though.]

So... the content doesn't matter, but pseudoheaders need content.
