summary:
[3.13] GH-122482: Make About IDLE direct discussion to DPO (GH-122483) (#122485)
Currently, idle-...@python.org and idle-dev mailing list
serve to collect spam (90+%). Change About IDLE to direct
discussions to discuss.python.org. Users are already
doing so.
(cherry picked from commit 29c04dfa2718dd25ad8b381a1027045b312f9739)
