Hmmm, possibly, as I've never used it I don't know how well it might
work for support.

It is also nice that github, discourse, zulip etc keep conversations
together, does it do that or mix them up like IRC does?

Anyhow whatever we decide, we need something that supports clients
without effort (like a browser not a specific client) and needs no
admin/maintenance effort since the Geany organisation has none
available as Enrico pointed out above.
