Drop the requirement that GLEPs must be discussed in forums
(in addition to mailing lists), since no GLEPs have been sent there
since at least 2011.

See also the discussion about the previous update of GLEP 1 in 2011:
https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/21796e64595d63f09d64ea1703aa4f2f

The intention back then was "not let people pick only the forums".
Subsequently, the clause "mailing list and/or forums" was changed to
"mailing list and forums", which doesn't follow the intention, though.

 GLEP authors are responsible for collecting community feedback on a GLEP
 before submitting it for review.  A GLEP that has not been discussed on
-the mailing lists and the Gentoo Linux forums [#FORUMS]_ will not be
-accepted.  However, wherever possible, long open-ended discussions on public
-mailing lists should be avoided.  Strategies to keep the discussions efficient
-include setting up a specific forums thread for the topic, having the GLEP
