The archival process of the mailing list makes searching for past issues 
possible. Slack, and irc in general, is a more closed garden than a public 
archived mailing list. 

That said, irc/slack is good for immediate interaction between people, say, 
gluster user with a nightmare and a knowledgeable developer with deep 
understanding and willingness to assist.

If there's a way to make a debug/help/fix session publicly available, and 
crucially, referenced in the mailing list archive, then irc/slack is a great 
additional communication channel.
