 The GCC community does not use `github.com` for their contributions. Instead, we use
 a mailing list (`[email protected]`) for code submissions, code
-reviews, and bug reports.
+reviews, and bug reports. A guide for those unfamiliar with the process can be
+found on the ["Contributing to GCC in 10 easy steps"](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted#Basics:_Contributing_to_GCC_in_10_easy_steps)
+section of the ["Getting Started" wiki page](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted).
 
-Perhaps one day it will be possible to use [GitGitGadget](https://gitgitgadget.github.io/)
-to conveniently send Pull Requests commits to GCC's mailing list, the way that the Git
-project currently allows it to be used to send PRs to their mailing list, but until that
-day arrives, please send your patches to the mailing list manually.
+In addition, the GCC project uses a [forgejo instance](https://forge.sourceware.org/gcc/gcc)
+to enable contributors to submit pull requests for review. These pull requests
+are not automatically merged, they are sent to the mailing list via automation for you,
+and can be reviewed either on the forge or on the mailing list itself.
+To make use of this, follow the instruction in the ["Using Forge"](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/UsingForge) page.
 
 Please read ["Contributing to GCC"](https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html) on the main GCC
 website to learn how the GCC project is managed, and how you can work with it.
-In addition, we highly recommend you to read
