[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #4981 Web: Remove links to gmane for 'bug-reports' section of Website

[Auto mailings of changes to Lily Issues]

I know that Gmane has been down for months now, but according to http://gmane.org/about/, it's just being rebuilt and will be back in commission RealSoonNow™!

I have used Gmane to post to the LilyPond mailing list since I started six years ago!

Given that the average person has never heard of an electronic mailing list nor IRC, I think it would be more important to lower the barriers for new users!

I think a link to this page on Wikipedia which explains the unfamiliar concept very well, as well as this page on IRC.

I guess I'm talking more about http://lilypond.org/contact.html than the bugs page, because it you're posting in the Bugs list than you probably know what a mailing list is.

(Not a bug in the conventional sense ... ) The page
http://lilypond.org/bug-reports.html offers a link to post.gmane.org as the
only way to submit a bug report if one is not subscribed to
address@hidden post.gmane.org has been down for some time, and is
possibly down for good. The link should be removed from bug-reports.html.
