Maintainers get a lot of emails about errors from users whom we inevitably have to direct to the issue tracker.

I suspect this is because, when an error happens, users are encouraged to run either npm bugs or npm owner ls.

npm bugs would fail without a bugs url, so they'll move onto npm owner ls and subsequently email us.

By adding the bugs url to the package.json, hopefully this will mitigate some of the emails the maintainers receive.

By adding the `bugs` url to the package.json, _hopefully_ this will mitigate some of the emails the maintainers receive.

npm infers the bugs URL from the repository field, so this is not really needed.
