#contribution-helps is meant for new contributors to ask non-technical questions. E.g., looking for starter issues or reviewers (just don't DM people).
For having a #dev/development, I'm a little concerned this may encourage people to start discussions directly in slack. IMHO, we may want to stick to the existing communication channels (mailing lists / jira / github pr) for most of the technical discussions, and only come to slack when the conversation turns into back-and-forth. In such cases, a temporary private channel or DM group could be set up for the specific topic. Maybe I'm being too conservative. WDYT?
