Not silly, it's our fault. We have this wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/WhoUsesDebian and some more info here: https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/tree/master/english/users But we failed to include that info in the bug report (fixing it now by CC'ing the bug address). > And there has been no activity on this bug since 2014. Depending on the skills, time and motivation of the contributor(s) willing to help updating /users, the process has been more or less automated (e.g. others use a script to produce the mails, I write them manually with a Thunderbird template, etc.). We've been updating the /users section in several batches since some years. I sent my last mails about this in 2016, and couldn't find the time to put on this task since then. I guess the other contributors also prioritised other tasks when contributing to Debian. If you want to help with the Who's using Debian section update, feel free to send a mail to the bug (766...@bugs.debian.org), and we can try to resume the work together. About general info/guidance for newcomers, we have www.debian.org/intro/help as has been pointed out already, and also https://wiki.debian.org/Welcome/ In the Debian Project News (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/ ) we usually have a section "Help needed" linking to the packages that need help, the newcomer bug list, and specific help for teams that told us to publish an announce about help needed.
