[PATCH] Fix typo in User's Guide

[Arash Rouhani]

Hello Simon,

If you look at this wikipage [1], it still says we can contribute using 
the `git send-email` to ghc-devs. Now I know you like for people to 
create tickets for bug fixes. But what about really tiny documentation 
patches? The WorkingConventions [2] page only mentions how to submit 
bugfixes and new feature patches.

So should I still use the instructions at [1] or is there some 
information missing in the wiki? Or should I really create a ticket for 
tiny patches?

Best Regards,
Arash
