Maybe it would be better to sort the list by purpose first, rather than 
the type of contact.  The medium really seems secondary to reason for 
contacting Gnome.

So for instance, it might make sense to group things like:

   * User support: www.gnome.org, gnome-list, #gnome, bugzilla
   * Developers: desktop-devel-list, some document on contributing to
     Gnome, etc.
   * Distro/OS specific help, grouped by distro
   * Localised contact points, grouped by language.
   * Contacting the foundation
   * Press contact.
   * others?
