Hi, I'm always connected to IRC #python-dev (Freenode) for 10 years, a few other core devs use it time to time. Come to say hello ;-) The bugs.python.org and buildbot notifications are useful to me and I don't feel annoyed by them. But GitHub review are hard to use: only the user name and the PR

I'm hesitant to start yet another communication channel without considering all the maintenance work that it entails. It's not just about "let's spin up the server" but we should think about who will moderate and administer it. Since we have tried various platforms in the past, and some just didn't
