I very much disagree as I still prefer email to having discussions in issues or PRs. It is still the sweet spot for me with easy of use and feature support from a modern email client. Issues and PRs are IMHO suited for bugs, feature requests and other code changes, not for discussions. And no, I don't like discussion forums like reddit or Discord either. Writing to the amount of people following php internals should be done with some consideration and more social media type of platforms unfortunately - in my experience - tend to encourage noise. Just my $.02, - Chris
