Thanks for doing that. I'd echo my sentiment in that issue that if anybody from list community is interested in suggesting changes to the Community page, we're happy to take patches. The bug-reporting advice there has been slowly added over the years, and fresh eyes may produce useful insights.

Perhaps make this a link to /docs/git-bugreport? That's not active yet, but will be when we release v2.27 (scheduled for Monday). We could hold this patch until then.

Other than that, looks good to me, modulo the /break/ thing mentioned elsewhere.
