community: remove mention of git-users list
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The git-users mailing list has become [spam-infested] lately. This to
the point where Google Groups won’t let you view the forum.

I raised this issue in the following places:

• https://discord.gg/GRFVkzgxRdgit#1828https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240204084344.jzu2ciulbrdmxz4u@carbon/T/#m16eeb0bd8cd2c30c05836ea134817911ee794ec1

Subscribed members may try to contact the owner of the Google
Group. Konstantin Khomoutov, A regular on that list for many years,
[pointed out] that he has never seen the owner post on the list; he
seems to be “AWOL”.

The only recourse here seems to be to contact Google, which Konstantin
[did].

In the meantime—if anything comes of the support ticket—the mailing list
is useless and there is no point in advertising it.

There is also <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/git-users">Git user mailing list</a> on Google Groups which is a nice place for beginners to ask about anything.
If you're a downstream packager of Git, consider joining the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/git-packagers">Git packagers mailing list</a> for low-volume announcements from the developers, as well as other discussion related to packaging &amp; porting Git.
