I'm still hesitant about the point of the "safe zone" that is this mailing list, compared to a forum. On the other hand I fear that an introduction sent to this mailing list is like a flyer attached behind the door instead of on the notice board. I mean, many community members will never read it. Another point never solved is the involvement of other community/team members in the join/onboarding process that are not hanghing in this mailing list, or other Join SIG communication channels. The Join SIG maybe need help from other teams members. We are doing our best, and well, but more expertise in some specific facets of the project could be useful. Maybe an introduction sent to discussion.f.o. has better visibility. All in all the mission of the Join workflow is: "Not the tasks, not the processes, the people. [...] So, we had a thought. Why not help Jen become part of the community - get to know the people - first? [...] Fedora is about hanging out with friends". Well, what a better place than a forum? About the other purposes of this mailing list, well, Join SIG specific tasks and discussions are held on pagure tickets or on some chat. And announcements for newcomers, easy tasks, well, again, discussion.f.o. could be a better channel. So... I'm inclined to foster your proposal.
