[racket] Policy on cross posting to the list and Stackoverflow

We don't have any real policy, but there's generally the usual common sense
that can apply here as well as anywhere else: try only one first, and the
other if you don't get a reply; or if you did both and got a reply on one
then note that on the other.  In our specific context, the mailing list is
usually more effective in getting answers, but SO has the advantage of a
good QA system, like scoring, easy to look for past answers and even
suggesting relevant answers when you ask a question.

BTW, I have a script that monitors SO (as well as a bunch of other places)
and I could make it send out notifications on the list, but that sounds bad
for the above reasons...  If there is some way that such things are done
elsewhere I can look into doing it...
