One potential solution might be something like public-inbox.org [1]. This would provide an easy-to-access archive without fragmenting discussion further. That said, I don’t know what all is involved in setting that up, and I don’t want to push more administrative tasks onto maintainers. But it’s worth mentioning as an option.
