I'm willing to offer up python-ideas as an experimental group of people to
try a new approach to communicating if we want to try something out on an
existing mailing list that isn't as critical as python-dev. I also know
that Donald has expressed interest in trying Discourse on distutils-sig as
have I (I believe lack of time is what has prevented this experiment from
occurring on Donald's side, definitely the reason I haven't tried Discourse
on python-ideas).
