Just another data point on the switch to Discourse. I was personally invested in mailing lists, having been the project leader for GNU Mailman for 20+ years (retired a few years now). Python-dev email was a central and indispensable part of my daily workflow. Gradually as more discussions moved to Discourse, so did I. I recently also turned off email notifications for GitHub and just use the GH UI for that. I absolutely love not having to slog through hundreds of emails before my first shots of caffeine, and I can now pull from Discourse or GH when it’s convenient for me. It’s also much easier to disengage for a few days and catch up later. I have my complaints about Discourse, but for me the benefits far outweigh the negatives. My email is manageable again and I’m not going back! That said, I don’t think python-dev should be shut down just yet, but it sure is nice to not be overwhelmed and stressed out every single day by the bloat in my Python inbox. -Barry
