content: update webmasters page.
- The 'Download mirrors' section is very outdated. I replaced most of
the text with just 2 sentences to redirect to gimp-web tracker and the
mirror request procedure news.
- The 'Last resort' section is just completely redundant as we already
give mailing list info in the first section (so it's not a "last"
resort at all).

This site is maintained by a team of volunteers who are constantly trying to improve it. We are all GIMP
users and some of us are also GIMP developers. If you have a question or a comment about GIMP, we will do our
best to help you. However, we get a _lot_ of mail and we may not be able to answer all queries. The best way
to get support is to post your questions and comments to one of the [mailing lists or IRC
channels](/discuss.html), or to the GIMP newsgroup (comp.graphics.apps.gimp).
If you have a problem with GIMP and you think that you have found a bug or if you would like to suggest a
new feature, you can also take a look at our [bugs page](/bugs/). Your problem may have been reported or
solved already, so please [search and browse](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues) for existing
reports first.

+## Problems with download mirrors?
-## Download mirrors
-
-You can also use GNOME Gitlab to [notify
us](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/gimp-web/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&search=mirrors)
if a mirror of download.gimp.org is gone or if a new one has recently been added. If you want to set up a
new mirror, you may want to use one of the existing rsync mirrors to update your server. Please include the
country of your server in the summary of the bug.
-
-Some hints on the server setup:
-
-* Please try to offer at least HTTPS access, and if possible also FTP and rsync access
-* Check that all README files are present
-* Check that README, MIRRORS, \*.md5, SHA256SUMS and SHA512SUMS files are sent as text/plain
-* Configure directory listings to use version sort
-
-The size of the data as seen on https://download.gimp.org/pub/ is currently around 4.1 GiB, with gimp and
gtk subdirectories amounting to about 3.4 GiB. New releases are uploaded some time before the announcement is
made, so syncing every few days should be sufficient.
-
-You will see lots of partial requests for pieces of files, especially after new releases - this is mostly
torrent clients picking up pieces from web seeds.

-## Last resort

-If you want to contact us by e-mail, then post to the [gimp-developer mailing list](/discuss.html).
