We currently use two files that warn users of github trying to make pull
requests against gcc mirrors that their efforts will not be rewarded.
Rather than just tell them to use email, offer them a choice between that and
using the forge.

## Contributing to GCC
-Thanks for taking the time to contribute to GCC! Please be advised that if you
are

The GCC community does not use `github.com` for their contributions. Instead,
we use
a mailing list (`[email protected]`) for code submissions, code
-reviews, and bug reports.
+reviews, and bug reports. A guide for those unfamiliar with the process can be
+found on the ["Contributing to GCC in 10 easy
steps"](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted#Basics:_Contributing_to_GCC_in_10_easy_steps)
+section of the ["Getting Started" wiki
page](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted).
-Perhaps one day it will be possible to use
[GitGitGadget](https://gitgitgadget.github.io/)
-to conveniently send Pull Requests commits to GCC's mailing list, the way that
the Git
-project currently allows it to be used to send PRs to their mailing list, but
until that
-day arrives, please send your patches to the mailing list manually.
+In addition, the GCC project uses a [forgejo
instance](https://forge.sourceware.org/gcc/gcc)
+to enable contributors to submit pull requests for review. These pull requests
+are not automatically merged, they are sent to the mailing list via automation
for you,
+and can be reviewed either on the forge or on the mailing list itself.
+To make use of this, follow the instruction in the ["Using
Forge"](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/UsingForge) page.
Please read ["Contributing to GCC"](https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html) on
the main GCC
website to learn how the GCC project is managed, and how you can work with it.
-In addition, we highly recommend you to read
-[our guidelines for read-write Git access](https://gcc.gnu.org/gitwrite.html).

-Or, you can follow the
-["Contributing to GCC in 10 easy

page](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted) on

process.
Your friendly GCC community!
