MyFirstContribution: update mailing list sub steps

The documentation says to send an email to majordomo. Doing so gets you an auto response saying majordomo has been turned down, and to instead visit https://subspace.kernel.org/vger.kernel.org.html and use the sub/unsub links. Update the instructions to reference the supported mechanism for subscribing to the git mailing list. Include details like these being mailto links but the subject/body aren't necessary, since it's not obvious what to put in those fields. Signed-off-by: Kyle Lippincott <[email protected]>
