With no active MOTU or core -dev on our team at the moment, we have struggled to get things like new sources into the archive, and similar permission based tasks.

We don't use slack (sadly), but the obvious KDE related IRC channels might be advisable. #kde-devel #plasma (quite active especially for Monday planning meetings #kde-neon (we still have much crossover with them in tools, packaging etc) There is also the kubuntu devel Telegram channel, which is basically a bridge to the IRC one.
