[PATCH RESEND] bugreport: Add hint to answer questionnaire in English

From: Bagas Sanjaya <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-07 10:49:58
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Depending on system locale, git bugreport may launch the localized
bug report questionnaire (and thus users respond it in their native
language). However, many Git support forums (including
git@vger.kernel.org) expects bug reports written in English.

Add a hint that answering the questionnaire in English will increase
chances for bug reports to be responded.

Fixes: 238b439d69 (bugreport: add tool to generate debugging info,
2020-04-16)

 In [1], Junio suggests to add hint for filling in bug report answers
 in English. That stems from my responses to Krzysztof Żelechowski's bug
 report [2], which advise him to re-submit the report in English.
