Add non package related things

Hi, the section Bug reporting guidelines#Where to open the bug should also provide a guideline for where to report non package related issues. E.g. ones related to the https://archlinux.org/ website, the packages browser https://archlinux.org/packages/, the Forums https://bbs.archlinux.org/, the AUR (already kinda mentioned), Downloads https://archlinux.org/download/, https://reproducible.archlinux.org/, https://man.archlinux.org/, https://conf.archlinux.org/, https://package-maintainer-bylaws.aur.archlinux.org/, https://whatcanidofor.archlinux.org/, https://terms.archlinux.org/

some kind of table for all of the non package things with a link to either a documentation (probably wiki page) on how to report issues or to the associated issue tracker in GitLab would be great. Sadly I do not really know where all of these reports are supposed to go so I'm just writing this here instead of directly adding said table. Agowa338 (talk) 09:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

We already have some things listed with their bugtracker in Getting involved, but improving the bug reporting guidelines in this regard would definitely be good!
Maybe we also need some "I didn't find the right place to open an issue" repo at some point, so far https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/bug-repo/-/issues has not really been used for that (it was introduced just for the move from the old bugtracker). -- Gromit (talk) 11:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is already a note in Bug reporting guidelines#Upstream or Arch?, only the Bug reporting guidelines#Opening a bug section is too packaging-specific (except for Bug reporting guidelines#Creating an account...) — Lahwaacz (talk) 18:19, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
