Thanks Paul.
I like very much your idea. The current footer is:

"To report a problem with the web site, e-mail
debian-www@lists.debian.org. For other contact information, see the
Debian contact page."

I'm attaching a new patch, that would change that to:

"To report a problem with the web site, and other contact information,
see the Debian contact page."

Note that this would break translations as the former one, so i18n
advice about how to handle that is still welcome :)

In contact page ( https://www.debian.org/contact ), we already have
(among other info):

* "Please note that most of the e-mail addresses below represent open
mailing lists with public archives. Read the disclaimer before sending
any messages."

* "English language is the common language for communication with Debian
developers. We therefore ask that initial enquiries to developers be
made in English. If this is not possible, go through the user mailing
list for your language."

* Info about the debian-user list for user help desk.

So I think the patch would cover all the needs.

I would review the other appearances of links mailto:debian-www@l.d.o
and would propose individual patches for them, if needed.

Regards
