The UPGRADING still file needs quite a bit of polish.

GNATS apparently no longer needs to know its own mail address since PR 
submission is by default done by speaking directly to the GNATS network 
daemon, gnatsd. Thus, GNATS_ADDR is also obsolete. The same applies to 
GNATS_USER.

GNATS_ADMIN is actually also obsolete, since the mail address for the 
administrator now comes from the gnats-admin entry in Responsible file, 
This is less than clear in the manual, and I'll try to fix it.
