Agree. Which social website do you have in mind? I can ask @alphapapa from /r/orgmode. I guess we can also ask people hanging out on Doom discord and discourse. Maybe also Org roam people. They have discourse. >> May we set a single account on GitHub and link it to Org ML so that >> people can @mention Org team on GitHub, and we automatically get the >> email directly to Org ML? > > I'm against it: it will make it easier for Org ecosystem maintainers > on GitHub to send notifications to the Org ML without joining it while > probably forcing Org maintainers on the ML to follow-up discussions on > GitHub. That's not a positive outcome. Fair point.

I am unsure how visible this kind of information will be for new third-party package maintainers. Should we add some information to Appendix A Hacking section of the manual? (something along the lines that one may contact Org maintainers in other media like IRC, Matrix, etc and then link to worg/org-maintenance.org) Or maybe have a section in worg/org-contribute.org? An extension to "Write add-ons" item. And, of course, we need to announce this to the existing maintainers. Upcoming Emacsconf may be a good opportunity. -- Ihor Radchenko, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at https://orgmode.org/.
