Hi all!

We are proposing to move the development discussions from
scipy-dev@python.org to
https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/scipy

The proposal is as follows:
- We start using Discourse as a replacement to scipy-dev@python.org
- We don't move the mailing list archive and history. That will all be
frozen at the current location (
https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/scipy-dev.python.org/). While it is
possible to migrate the history to Discourse, this makes the transition A
LOT more complicated including potentially exposing private email addresses
which is something we probably don't want to do.
- Posters will have the ability to post on the website forum or through
email. I am personally still getting used to the Discourse interface, but
it seems it is possible to interact with the forum through email only if
that is preferred, so hopefully those who would like to keep the email
workflow would not have to adapt too much. This message was posted through
email, for example:
https://discuss.scientific-python.org/t/this-is-a-test-message/1117

Note that there are two forums for SciPy in the Scientific Python
discourse:
- https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/scipy (for developer
discussions)
- https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/scipy (for user discussions)

There is no expectation that maintainers would monitor the user forum.

I hope this is clear - let me know if you need more information. The forum
is already open so anyone can post there. Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you Stéfan van der Walt for the help setting this up and Pamphile Roy
for the previous work on setting up the forum!

- Melissa
