The change removes the fallback instructions for users who can’t use the submission mechanism (previously: no GitHub account → email). With a Google Form link, it’s still possible some users can’t access it (no Google account / blocked). Consider re-adding an alternative submission path (e.g., a contact email) or explicitly stating the access requirements so event submissions aren’t blocked.

For accessibility and clarity, the link text “this form” is not very descriptive when read out of context (e.g., by screen readers). Consider changing the anchor text to something like “event submission form” while keeping the same URL.
