I don't want a proliferation of Slack channels, but strongly believe human conversation and automated notifications aren't a good mix. Usually the humans are the losers.

The more active our ecosystem gets, the more the slack channel fills up with JIRA creation and closing. Since we're async, we regularly have discussions that can span multiple days so the "Qbot vs. Human" ratio gets pretty bad and discussions get shunted up off the top of the screen.

As a consequence I find myself interfacing with #cassandra-dev less frequently since syncing up with what's going on has more friction. I think it'd benefit the community to have a place for humans to talk human things and then go to the #cassandra-noise channel for more detailed JIRA movement updates.

I believe we've discussed this previously but my ponymail searching hasn't turned up signal to load up that old context.

So: thoughts?
