Hm. I think this encourages a behavior that I want to discourage: assuming that if a bug has already been reported then there's nothing more for the new user to add. Especially because the mailing list is not an issue tracker, this would make it too easy for the project to miss important bugs. Can this say something more neutral, like See the list archive at https://public-inbox.org/git/ for previous bug reports and other discussions. ? Or if we want to encourage a particular behavior, should we say something about "To coordinate with others experiencing the same problem" or something else that encourages joining in with the thread instead of assuming it's taken care of? Thanks, Jonathan
