doc: direct people to the mailing list

Browse source 
Since the move to Github, we've started to receive lots of
introductory questions to the bug tracker. I posit this is because
most projects on Github don't have mailing lists, so the culture on
Github is to use the Issue Tracker as a discussion forum.

The Go project doesn't use the Issue Tracker as our first point of
communication. This CL updates CONTRIBUTING.md (which is linked when
you file a bug or send a pull request), to mention that we have a
mailing list.

It certainly won't stop all the errant bug reports, but it should
help.

@ -15,6 +15,8 @@ When filing an issue, make sure to answer these five questions:
4. What did you expect to see?
5. What did you see instead?
General questions should go to the [golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts) instead of the issue tracker.
The gophers there will answer or ask you to file an issue if you've tripped over a bug.
