Matej, John etc. - The issue we keep coming back to, and the reason we try to avoid emails, is that discussions on emails are simply much slower than ones on Slack.
John, regarding summarizing slack conversations on the mailing list manually - that's possible, but then I feel like we might be getting the worst of both worlds - someone would have to spend the time summarizing the conversation, plus it would not be as complete as it would have been had it been copied in its entirety (or, alternatively, have taken place entirely over the mailing list). I personally think the bot - assuming we can improve its format somewhat - is actually more useful in that regard, even when excluding the work one would have to do to summarize the conversation. Arthur (and also Tal, who suggested it on Slack) - I'm very much against moving specifically the daily updates to the mailing list, keeping everything else on Slack. IMO it makes sense to do it exactly the other way around. The updates are about things which are in progress, and are much less relevant to the mailing list than actual discussions and announcements over completed features etc. We need to find the right balance between the overhead the mailing list incurs and the need to have everything logged on the list - and IMO the bot is the best solution at this time. However, John, if you think otherwise, even after taking into consideration what I've mentioned above, then let us know what other flow you suggest exactly, and we'll follow that instead.
