StackOverflow is part of the StackExchange network of support websites.
Another support website like StackOverflow, is http://askubuntu.com/
which fields support questions for the Ubuntu distribution.

You get awarded with points for your contributions, and you can ask
questions yourself.
If you have enough points, you can highlight your own questions for a
better chance of a good answer.
The idea of StackExchange is to create a self-sustainable support
community for your specific area of interest.

Here is the full list of support websites from StackExchange,
http://stackexchange.com/sites

Something that the GNOME Foundation can explore is what is needed
to create a 'GNOME' support website as part of the StackExchange network.
