On Apache Mahout project we're using Slack as well - for release coordination. It was found that extra Slack channel does not really fit into Apache way - it was overused, there were too many design discussions going on there, to which community at large has no access to, was not and could not be involved, cannot even see history. This is not the case with user/dev mailing list, with searchable archives.
