Thank you, I think I will open a Pull Request to that Community page to suggest going the GitHub issues route in case of Windows-specific bugs.

If the bug in question is a Windows-specific bug, or if you do not know whether it is a Windows-specific bug, then yes, please submit it to our GitHub issue tracker, as described in the "Contribute" section of our home page: http://git-for-windows.github.io/#contribute

If you already know that the bug in question affects more than just Windows users, please report it to the Git mailing list, as you have done. (You will need to send plain-text messages, as the Git mailing list rejects HTML mails.)

Ciao, Johannes
