[NETBEANS-3743] Link to JIRA from "Reporting issues" brings to certain issue, rather than Introduction (System Dashboard)

Description

The website's "Reporting issues" page simply links to Apache's Jira instance with a link to https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues

This URL seems to behave strangely. Currently, it redirects me to the URL for a specific issue, NETBEANS-2082: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues/NETBEANS-2082?filter=allopenissues

Following that link, I did a search to see how well NetBeans supported PHP. This search turned up surprisingly few issues, which got me thinking I should evaluate NetBeans for PHP development.

But that was before I figured out by chance that NetBeans migrated to Jira after using Bugzilla, and that apparently none of the tickets were migrated to Jira! Had Reporting issues linked to the Jira instance's homepage (System Dashboard), I could have understood that from the Introduction's paragraph on Bugzilla. But with the current link, I didn't stand a chance.

 

Notes about the Introduction:

1. "Jira" is no longer fully uppercase as if it was an acronym
2. The migrating from Bugzilla link is currently broken.
