Hi, I understand your perspective and accept your position. The mail list must be the official channel, and everything important should go through there.
Maybe later we can go back to this idea. I still think that a Slack or Gitter channel, if properly supervised, would even help the mailing list. For example, I started writing in the mailing list because Hanks pushed me to do so in the gitter channel. The problem with unofficial channels is that they are not listed in the official website...
