[Board] Proposal to remove contact form

[Michael Smith]

I absolutely +1 with you not having the to respond to these emails. I'm
unsure if removing the contact form is what we want. Perhaps we create a
mailing list that the contact form submits to? Then it can be responded to
by anyone?

But its not something that is the president's (or any one person's) job.
