Karl is correct. I did notice this while doing the recent changes, but
forgot to say or do anything about it, which is the same as not
noticing.

The code element [ggm] for Gugu Mini was added to ISO 639-3 in January
2013 (Change Request 2012-138). Discussions after that point, and before
the long-delayed addition of these changes to the BCP 47 Registry,
revealed that "Gugu Mini" is actually an ill-defined cover term that
does not refer to a single language. The ISO 639-3 Registrar informed
this list in September [1] that there was a proposal to deprecate [ggm]
(CR 2013-030), and because the big set of Registry changes had not yet
been submitted to IANA, I withdrew the addition of 'ggm' from that set,
pending the later decision. However, I forgot to modify the comment
being added to the existing subtag 'ggr'. So, it's been wrong in the
Registry since September.

The registration form to deprecate 'ggr' also said that [ggr] in 639-3
was being split into three code elements, including [ggm]. This
statement is still true, even though 'ggm' was never added to the
Registry, so there should be no need to make any change there.

Below are the record and registration form to fix this comment. (Karl,
let me know if you want your name on the registration form; it's the
closest thing we have to a finder's fee.) This change can be submitted
to IANA as soon as March 6, and I suggest that we do not need to hold
the other changes until then.
