So something like these two lines (via a macro) in all of the
executables, ideally at the tail end of --help output?

See <https://qemu.org/contribute/report-a-bug> for bug reports.
More information on the qemu project at <https://qemu.org>

(assuming your recent patch goes in).  I'm also open to bikeshedding on
better wording, or requests on which content is most useful vs. too verbose.
