Re: is "groupmems" not being setgid worth a bugzilla report?

on my f20 system, perusing the account-related commands and ran
across the "groupmems" command, whose man page reads:
"SETUP
The groupmems executable should be in mode 2770 as user root and in group groups.
The system administrator can
add users to group groups to allow or disallow them using the groupmems utility to
manage their own group
membership list.
$ groupadd -r groups
$ chmod 2770 groupmems
$ chown root.groups groupmems
$ groupmems -g groups -a gk4"
currently, /usr/sbin/groupmems has the following properties:
# ls -l /usr/sbin/groupmems
-rwxr-x---. 1 root root 56960 Jul 26 2013 /usr/sbin/groupmems
#
so how should i interpret the man page? should groupmems be setgid?
or is the man page suggesting how the reader might set it to setgid
for further customization? the way the man page is worded seems
ambiguous.
You should interpret the man page to say.... *If* you want to give users the ability to
administer their own group membership list then follow the instructions in the
"SETUP" section.
By default, this feature is not enable, thus it is not released with mode 2770 set.
