Hi, During the Infra Roundtable yesterday a new self-serve for creating Jira accounts was announced. While I agree with Karl's 20+ year old e-mail about issue creations [1], the self-serve will inevitable be found and accounts will be created even if we don't link to it ourselves. Thus i'm proposing to add a link to the reporting-issues.html page. The request to add a reference to a mailing list discussion is intended to encourage people to actually use the mailing list before creating an issue (and an excuse to deny an account if an issue has not been discussed on-list).
Please check and feel free to update (in particular any grammatical/spelling errors). (In the meantime, I've added a few links in the Jira description pointing to https://subversion.apache.org/reporting-issues.html).
