And why is it a good idea to give that information in Reporting Bugs
section?  Are we asking the bug reporters to look for similar issues
in the archive before they send their message?  If so, I think that
we should be explicit about it, too.  Otherwise, the list archive
location would look like an irrelevant noise to those who wanted to
find the address to report bugs to.

For example, we can say something like this:

>  Report bugs to the Git mailing list <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> where the
>  development and maintenance is primarily done.  You do not have to be
>  subscribed to the list to send a message there.
  +If you want to check to see if the issue has
  +been reported already, the list archive can be found at
  +<https://public-inbox.org/git/> and other places.
