Hi, I believe that we never reached a consensus on this thread. Can we make a decision on this ?
I have changed my position to NOT support a channel at all. The reason is because all the user/dev discussion should go through the email list, and it is very easy to reach out to a particular contributor/committer using Gitter if it is necessary to have a more interactive discussion. Anyone with GitHub can use that account to login to Gitter. It is just a matter of coordinating with the contributor one is trying to chat with.
