There can't be anything actionable in pointing out the similarity. And you could do this anywhere that you liked. Just add something like, "Isn't this very strange?"
People can draw their own conclusions.

There is no central authority for reporting plagiarism. It is certainly on the increase in universities, and I've had to institute disciplinary action in several cases over the last few years. I usually discover them by Googling whenever the style gets a-typical. Also we have anti-plagiarism software.
Quite frankly, if I were ever tempted to plagiarise, then I'd be careful not to pick on a source that can be Googled.
