#34579: Documentation points to `django-developers` mailing list as primary point
of contact for discussion

Given recent efforts to prioritize the Django Forum as the main
communication channel for development, I think it would be a good idea to
update the docs to either replace the references to `django-developers`
mailing list with Forum URL, or at least point to both places.

At the very list, the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/bugs-and-
features/#requesting-features Reporting bugs and requesting features]
should point to the forum for when requesting a new feature: I'm pointing
ticket reporters to this doc page and then saying "please raise this
feature request in the forum" and those are, somewhat, contradictory.

I don't mind adding ''"... or on the Django Forum"'' to references to the
`django-developers` mailing list, but **not** removing them. TBH, I follow
the mailing list more closely than the forum, and it's not just me.

Comment (by Mohit Singh Sinsniwal):

I tried adding the Django Forum in the doc pages where I thought we should
give an option, and I also hyperlinked the text with the URL

One example is in bugs-and-features.txt, starting from line 162
{{{

Votes on technical matters should be announced and held on both the
`Django Forum`_ and the |django-developers| mailing list.

.. _searching: https://code.djangoproject.com/search
.. _custom queries: https://code.djangoproject.com/query
.. _Django Forum: https://forum.djangoproject.com
.. _#django: https://web.libera.chat/#django
}}}
