GitHub Discussions: the right tool to communicate with new code contributors?

I'm not sure why you asked for feedback if you've already made up your mind what you're going to do.

tfmorris:

FWIW, the last time the developers were polled, the vote was 2-0 for returning to the dev mailing list as a means of communication (which, of course, is too low a turnout to make a change on).

Curious that I didn't participate in this poll. Next time we are polling developers let me know, because I see myself as one and would rather not migrate back to Google Groups.

I misspoke. The final tally was 2-1, including your vote, with many abstentions. Apparently that didn't constitute a "clear majority."

How do we get more of the developer community to participate in discussions?
