I've also found the SwiftPM Slack extremely useful and friendly.
Having something similar for corelibs-foundation is a good idea and I
would certainly join it.

Maybe we could start a #corelibs-foundation channel on the SwiftPM
Slack, as an experiment?  If it's useful, over time the SwiftPM Slack
could become a "swift.org" Slack.

I see this as separate to the move of the mailing lists to Discourse.

Thanks,
Ian
