@gnome is discontinuing its mailing list infrastructure soon, which means that we are as well.
Discussions can continue on GNOME Discourse:
https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/gimp
Reminder: GIMP is also already on pixls.us : https://discuss.pixls.us/gimp/

@RyunoKi Using a mailing list is better, because it allows for a more thoughtful, longform discussion of issues. Granted, not everybody thinks before they write, and email etiquette seems to be a lost art in 2022, but at least the tool is designed to encourage that, unlike IRC (or any other chat-like protocol), which has its uses of course, but it's more focused on informal, immediate interaction.
I never mentioned the particular software stack used, so I don't really get why you replied with that.
Discourse there has a mailing list mode.
I don't get, why you initially replied with „bad move“.
The thread here does not mention IRC at all.
@RyunoKi The GIMP account mentioned IRC (as the place where «dev discussions happen») in their reply to me:

I'm not familiar with Discourse, but what @GIMP said at the start of this thread was: «@gnome is discontinuing its mailing list infrastructure soon, which means that we are as well.» I understood that as discontinuing the use of mailing lists for development discussions/tech support. Again, check out their reply to me. They clearly state that they don't see the point of keeping a mailing list, a decision I respect, but also disagree with. That's all.
@josemanuel
Here's what I know:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2022-October/msg00102.html
So it's kind of a forum/mailing list hybrid now.
Perhaps the wording was not perfect.
Let's see how the @GIMP community adapts.
I'm more concerned with Orca specifically.
