;; 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:
+;; relevant addresses:
;;
;; Administrivia: reporter-request@anthem.nlm.nih.gov
;; Submissions: reporter@anthem.nlm.nih.gov
+;; Packages that currently use reporter are: cc-mode, supercite, elp,
+;; tcl, ediff, crypt, vm, edebug, archie, and efs. If you know of
+;; others, please email me!
