That may be so but I’m seeing stuff like this. Email on upcoming release [1] points to GitHub [2] points to Slack [3] In order to view [3] you need to create an account and log into slack. Now I don’t think this is a graduation issue, but the PMC might want to consider how they bring information back from slack rather than link to it. I assume at some point the information behind that link would be lost (free tier right?). I’ll note the slack page also says "If you have an @us.ibm.com, @uk.ibm.com, @adobe.com, @de.ibm.com, @il.ibm.com, or @apache.org email address, you can create an account.” what if you don’t have one of those accounts? While a committer will have an apache account, a contributor is not likely to have any of those. (They could find this [4] and sign up). Seems like a barrier to entry I think.
