Problem with instructions for contributing code #474

@gopherbot

Description

@gopherbot

by kenliz@cruzio.com:

The instructions for contributing code suggest making golang-dev@googlegroups.com the 
default reviewer. (See "After editing, the template might now read:" ... and
later under "Mail the 
change for review":

$ hg mail -r golang-dev@googlegroups.com --cc math-nuts@swtch.com 99999

However, the mail generated by these actions is rejected, because golang-dev is a closed 
mailing list. Non-members may not mail to the group.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a change and follow the instructions under "Contributing to the Go
project"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Everything seems to go OK.

But the mail messages do not get delivered. (Worse, my ISP filtered the "Delivery
Status 
Notification (Failure)" messages as spam, and did not deliver them to me.)

What is your $GOOS?  $GOARCH?

Which revision are you using?  (hg identify)

Please provide any additional information below.
Continued to bounce messages even after completing the Individual Contributor license 
agreement, which is only mentioned later in the instructions.
