Either of above. If you are fixing zero, mostly likely you have started discussing it on one of the lists above. If anyone else on those lists are interested in the fix, he/she will help you find a better list to talk about the failure.

This is a community of people helping each other, I don't think a guide will be precise enough to allow a newcomer to find out which list is better.
