Hi debian-l10n-english folks, I'm looking for advice on how to reword the footer on the Debian website. I want to drop debian-www from the contact information in the website footer, directing people to the contact page on the website instead, which should empower them to find a better contact for their enquiry rather than defaulting to the debian-www mailing list.
Everything I have come up with seems a bit awkward or repetitive to me, so I am hoping someone on this list can come up with something better. The proposal is in #1009253 and quoted below.
