My view on Discourse is not entirely relevant here, as I will (of necessity) use the forum where the discussions are happening. So as long as Discourse is where the majority of discussion occurs, I'll follow it (regardless of my personal views of the platform). I don't think anyone is suggesting shutting down Discourse and forcing traffic back to distutils-sig, so my only real view here is "one less place to monitor". But distutils-sig is quiet enough these days that this isn't a huge benefit. The real questions for me are: 1. Will dropping distutils-sig mean that people who prefer interacting here lose their voice in packaging discussions? 2. Will having one fewer "recommended place" to start discussions make it easier for new participants to get involved? I don't have any insights into either of these questions, though.
