Hi Nathan,

I presume you're using AUCTeX.  In that case, the correct list is
bug-auctex <at> gnu.org.

Thanks for catching this.  I've added to patch to hyperref.el fixing
this issue[1].  As an intermediate solution, you can add the following
lines to your init file until the next release of AUCTeX:

    (with-eval-after-load "hyperref"
      (add-to-list 'LaTeX-verbatim-macros-with-braces-local "href")
      (font-latex-update-font-lock t))

Best, Arash
