Sorry for the bike-shedding, but I think the text should drop the
"using Django" language. The people who come here with these questions
clearly think of themselves as developers, not users.
IMO It should go something like,
Welcome to django-developers, the mailing list for discussion
of the development of Django itself.
This mailing list is not for support developing apps and
websites with Django. For support, please follow the "Getting
Help" page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/faq/help/ .
This page will direct you to the django-users mailing list or
other resources, so you can find people who are willing to
support you, and to ask your question in a way that makes it
easy for them to answer.
Thanks,
The Django Community
