I understand that it might be difficult for users to find the right place to discuss, ask things or get announcements. When I was new I did not follow the mailing list for some time, because mailing lists a concept many people are not familiar anymore I guess.
I don't think adding another place (especially a second Github repo like cordova-discuss) makes this easier. I have always seen cordova-discuss as a place where discussion on specific proposals happen. The mailing list is the place where decissions and all official stuff like VOTES and announcments must take place. That's why I think we are better off by promoting the lists for developers interrested. Maybe add note to every README, explain more on website, add to issue template and so on. dev@cordova.apache.org is the official channel how Apache works even I fully agree this is not the most modern, user-friendly way, but after some time I came to like the list, even before being an official PMC member. This is just my opinion. @Chris I thinks it's good that you brought up this discussion. I just wanted to point out that we should think carefully before introducing another channel. It can become hard to follow-up all discussions on different channels, know where to find and post stuff.
