Proposal for improvement of newsyslog.conf

Hi,
I've noticed that newsyslog sends SIGHUP to syslogd on /var/log/wtmp
rotation.
But syslogd does not deal with the wtmp log file so there is no need for
SIGHUP.

I propose to make slightly changes to default newsyslog.conf file:
13c13
< /var/log/wtmp 644 7 * $W6D4 B
---
> /var/log/wtmp 644 7 * $W6D4 B ""

Is misc a proper mailing list, or shall I send this message to bugs?
