Thanks for doing that. I'd echo my sentiment in that issue that if
anybody from list community is interested in suggesting changes to the
Community page, we're happy to take patches. The bug-reporting advice
there has been slowly added over the years, and fresh eyes may produce
useful insights.

Perhaps make this a link to /docs/git-bugreport? That's not active yet,
but will be when we release v2.27 (scheduled for Monday). We could hold
this patch until then.

Other than that, looks good to me, modulo the /break/ thing mentioned
elsewhere.
