Adjust Composer Forum position and help text

Suggested solution: Move Composer forum up

Perhaps the "Composer" forum can be moved up on https://www.drupal.org/forum → page, so that it's above "Upgrading Drupal"?

Also, in the "Upgrading Drupal" help text, we could add a link to Composer?

NOW

Upgrading Drupal

This forum is for questions about upgrading an existing Drupal site. Don't forget to read the UPGRADE.txt file that comes with every Drupal download.

Upgrading Drupal

For questions about upgrading an existing Drupal site, see also the included UPGRADE.txt file. Use the Composer → forum for questions about that.

Suggested solution: Link to Drupal upgrade page

Should not it be at least right after Upgrading Drupal? I would not want Composer is used for every question about upgrading Drupal just because that is the first sub-forum they see listed.

I don't think that's a realistic scenario, or that it would even be a problem. As it is now, we too often have to ask for details.

Moving up the Composer forum would increase the likelihood that a forum post enters the correct forum, with the right amount of details, so that we can much more efficiently help the user.

Many users with Composer challenges don't see the new "Composer" forum created half a year ago, and post in "Upgrading Drupal" ...

Forum posts can be moved from a forum to another one. Even if 10 posts were in the wrong forum, they could be moved in the right forum.
