I don't think there is any need to inform upstream of this.  The license is
clearly spelled out in doc/grape.tex, which is the master LaTeX file, so the
license ends up in the generated PDF.  Furthermore, the license is listed in
the actual source files, lib/grape.g and lib/smallestimage.g, as well as in the
top-level files COPYING and gpl.txt, and also mentioned in README.

Yes, this is endemic in the GAP community.  I think that GAP itself started out
with the wrong address, and then various authors of GAP addons copied the
license file from GAP itself, and so now we've got the wrong address
everywhere.  Argh.

I will certainly inform upstream of this issue.

Thank you very much for the review!
