remove misleading "suggest changes" link #62

Open mauke opened 3 days ago

At the bottom of https://pvp.haskell.org/#related it says:

If you'd like suggest changes, please open an issue on GitHub.

But that doesn't do anything in practice because changes suggested on github are only made on Github; they don't make it to the website. For example, PR #20 from 2018 contained a bugfix that corrects a nonsensical suggestion in the flowchart diagram, but the website still hasn't been updated.

In practical terms, there is no way to get changes into the published PVP, so the Github issue suggestion should be removed.

Isn't this proposal self-defeating? If your suggested change ever makes it to the website then that can only be because we've found a way of making changes to the GitHub repo make it to the website!

I suggest we just work out how to deploy changes to the website.
