Thank you very much for your efforts. It looks like you hit all but one of the places I looked. I agree that having a link from some part of the git-scm landing page would make sense, that's common practice for software projects and seems to me a logical place for it. I (obviously) read the text under the "got questions" bit; it was what sent me to this list. If it had said "report a bug here" I would have felt more confident about sending this message.
