[Pandas-dev] A dedicated place for pandas 2.0 pull requests and code reviews?

[Joris Van den Bossche]

I think it is a good idea to keep it separate in the beginning, the pandas
repo itself is already noisy enough :-)

Only concern: when we start discussing PRs or issues in a pandas2 repo, the
distinction with the discussions on pandas-design may start to become
unclear.
Would it be an option to have the prototyping in a subdirectory of the
pandas-design repo itself? On the other hand, the discussions on those PRs
may also get too noisy for the people who want to follow the more
high-level stuff on pandas-design.
