Description
Hello Nginx,
I've noticed the nginx -v and nginx -V writes its output in stderr
Ref: http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser/nginx/src/core/nginx.c#L219
Its good to display nginx version on stdout not in stderr
Also how should we submit a patch request for this bug?
Thank you

This is how it works since introduction - nginx consistently uses stderr for all output, and nginx -vt outputs nginx version and the result of configuration testing to stderr. One can use nginx -V 2>&1 to get the output in stdout if needed.
I don't think that changing this worth the effort and introduced incompatibilities. Note well that many other tools out there do the same, gcc and java for example.
See http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html about recommended way to submit patches.
Why do you think this is a bug?
