This sounds a bit weird to me -- why not just saying the `Ideas category on Discourse`_.?
The second link doesn't seem particularly useful, and it's probably better avoiding two links side by side.
The same applies to several other instances below.

Besides re-using existing link targets and being consistent between usages (which are not very convincing reasons), IIRC the main reason for this was to link the internal ref to the section explaining Discourse, but in the end I didn't end up doing that in most cases. In any case, I've revised the various instances to follow the form you suggest here.

The switch was announced, so I'll merge. |
As a followup to #938 , updates a number of additional references to and discussions of the mailing lists to prefer Discourse instead. In the process, as it particularly updated sections related to the PEP process, it elided a substantial amount of out of date material that duplicated both PEP 1 and between devguide documents describing mailing list/Discourse posting around such, focusing on the material unique/specific to each section while referring the rest to either the communication channels doc or the canonical source, PEP 1.
As part of this, this also clarifies, updates and improves existing references to Discourse, and revised its existing "Getting Help" section to avoid duplicating a fair amount of the material in the communication channels doc and focus on, well, "getting help" as the title would suggest.
Fix #944
