Yes, and indeed something that's been discussed for a while now is the possibility of moving the mailing lists to a forum: https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170731/038452.html Although Ted initially started the discussion with 'for swift-evolution' he later clarified he thought all should move: https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170731/038454.html While it's not a Slack channel, I wonder if this would suit your needs if it were to happen?
