Another unfortunate thing about GitHub as a forum is that it's
centralised, not community-owned, and is closed for those who don't want
to have that specific gatekeeper corporation mediating their
communication with the community.

Feeding data silos is something we should be discouraging (i.e. make
effort to not go further along that path) for community-owned projects
like Python.

So, while we currently have some commitment to that particular data
silo, we should IMO not increase that and instead should move to
decentralised, community-owned platforms for community discussion.
