Logging bugs information on the Audacity website (Contact page) fails to mention raising an issue on GitHub - instead is still recommends that users use the Forum for this:
https://www.audacityteam.org/contact/
image

This leads to a situation where the Forum Elves find themselves frequently responding to bugs reported on the Forum by advising the user to log them on GitHub (where they will get better visibility and focus).

This issue was spawned by a recent Forum post:
https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/bug-report-welcome-dialog-links-are-broken-in-swedish/80988

Proposal

I suggest that it would be an improvement to change the website so that GitHub>Issues is shown as the primary location for Bugs ad Feature Requests - leaving the Forum (and Discord) for support issues.
