Bug#1009253: www.debian.org: remove debian-www list from the footer; direct people to the contact page instead

Hi debian-l10n-english folks,

I'm looking for advice on how to reword the footer on the Debian
website. I want to drop debian-www from the contact information in the
website footer, directing people to the contact page on the website
instead, which should empower them to find a better contact for their
enquiry rather than defaulting to the debian-www mailing list.

Everything I have come up with seems a bit awkward or repetitive to me,
so I am hoping someone on this list can come up with something better.

The proposal is in #1009253 and quoted below.
