I agree with Oscar. The Github discussions may be OK for developers, but are not generic enough for end-user support. From participating in the Sympy discussions, I too find that there is more discussion and more people contributing in the Google group. Maybe Discourse would be better for maintenance and interface, but it is not as simple to navigate for the end user. Jupyter uses Discourse and I find I have trouble keeping up-to-date on what is happening there. I think this may reflect the default settings not being as ideal. I have not taken the time to try to completely customize how the Jupyter Discourse keeps me informed of activity.
