[webkit-dev] Direct line to WebKit admins: (was Re: Bugzilla spammer)

[Lucas Forschler]

Hello folks!

If you encounter any WebKit issues that need attention, please email admin at webkit.org <mailto:admin at webkit.org>. 

This would include things like spam, system reachability, service outages, etc. This is a direct line to folks who can prioritize fixing illness within the webkit.org <http://webkit.org/> infrastructure.

Thanks,
Lucas
