Description

Patch adding the following text to docs/contributing.txt:

    * **Don't** post to `django-developers`_ to announce that you have logged a
      bug. The core developers and ticket triage team keep a handle on the new
      tickets as they are submitted.

      You only need to start a django-developers discussion if there is some
      sort of design issue to resolve (for example, if you want to fix the bug,
      and want advice on the correct solution to a problem).

Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Design decision needed

Hmm... a little bit blunt :) Are we really getting that much traffic in django-dev along these lines? and do we really want to scare off contributors?

It's almost verbatim what was said in ​this post, and seems to reflect the current orientation of most developers.
