Did you mean to use it to linkify "mailing list" in the first bullet below? Note that the mailing list and how to subscribe to it is also described above under "Getting Help", maybe it makes more sense to refer back to that header...? Not sure. > + > +Here's where you can find bugs and feature requests existing in the system: I like the placement. The patch context doesn't make it super clear, but this is sitting at the end of the "Identify a Problem to Solve" step, so it's handy if folks are still following along in this guide on their first couple of real patches until they build muscle memory :) Initially I had thought this might make more sense to sit at the end of the tutorial, as a sort of "what do I do next?", but I think this placement is very good too. > + > + - Git uses a mailing list for discussion on bugs, features and patches.

Nice idea, though. With a couple tweaks I'd like to see it land. Thanks for sending the patch. - Emily
