Not used since the start of bugs.erlang.org, we plan to remove it

Intended for discussion about EEPs, originally a limited number of members
but now open to anyone to join. We plan to move the discussion to Github
issues and pull requests here https://github.com/erlang/eep in the
repository where the EEPs are stored.

erlang-patches is not used for anything, should/could be removed
eeps is for discussion about EEPs but will probably be obsoleted in favour
or GH issues and PRs.
erlang-questions is for discussion about Erlang and OTP
There is also discussion about Erlang and OTP on slack, on Elixir forum etc.
