Description

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 ​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.

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.
