[PATCH] MyFirstContribution: update mailing list sub steps

From
SGspectral via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<pull.1644.git.1705697955144.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Kyle Lippincott <spectral@google.com>

The documentation says to send an email to majordomo. Doing so gets you an auto response saying majordomo has been turned down, and to instead visit https://subspace.kernel.org/vger.kernel.org.html and use the sub/unsub links.

Update the instructions to reference the supported mechanism for subscribing to the git mailing list. Include details like these being mailto links but the subject/body aren't necessary, since it's not obvious what to put in those fields.
