Encourage people towards the various help forums as a first port of
call. Better sign-posting will reduce the incidence or questions being
asked in the issue tracker that should otherwise be handled elsewhere,
thereby keeping the issue tracker email traffic more focussed.

Since the move to Github, we've started to receive lots of
introductory questions to the bug tracker. I posit this is because
most projects on Github don't have mailing lists, so the culture on
Github is to use the Issue Tracker as a discussion forum.
The Go project doesn't use the Issue Tracker as our first point of
communication. This CL updates CONTRIBUTING.md (which is linked when
you file a bug or send a pull request), to mention that we have a
mailing list.
It certainly won't stop all the errant bug reports, but it should
help.
