FTR, I have signed up, but Jack's original point still stands.  Very few
people apart from PEP stakeholders are participating, so merely signing up
should not be considered an endorsement of Discourse.  Even participating
shouldn't, because folks might choose their battles, especially in a
pre-election situation.


In order to get an overview if I'm the only one:  I've searched for people's
opinions on Discourse, and its reputation is far from spotless even among
people who explicitly *want* a web forum.
