    George,

    Maybe using GitHub discussions is a better way to have this
    information and allows everybody to see and comment in a better
    way than mailing lists.


We're split across the mailing lists and IRC currently, adding GitHub discussions into the mix seems like adding a third option to things and spreading this out even further. It's certainly possible that is where developer stuff will go in the future, but whilst we try to stabilize our GitHub usage I'm hesitant to throw more change into the mix. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

I think posting this announcement to the mailing list was just fine. They all serve different purposes:

 * IRC is good for realtime chat, but not everyone is on there all the
   time.
 * Mailing lists are the best way of making announcements that everyone
   needs to see, as everyone will see it eventually. I wouldn't have
   seen the note about cherry picks with any other method.
 * A website/wiki is a better permanent record of important information
   for people to reference, but people aren't going to check these
   regularly, only when they're looking for something, so not good for
   announcements.
 * Personally, I rarely look at the Discourse forum, and there's not
   much there for developers
