[R] Bugzilla account request

[Florent Angly]

The gist of my post was that accounts must be requested through a
mailing list. As you correctly clarified, though, the R-devel list
should be used, not R-help.
I am quite sure of the bugs I have identified, but will report them on
R-devel for good form.
Best regards,
Florent
