    docs: Point people at the right place for bugs
    
    We don't use Bugzilla for GTK any more, so our documentation should
    reflect that change.
    
    Closes #1559

+and architectures, and verify that nothing breaks. They also allow us to
+do proper code reviews, so we can iterate over the changes.
