    Certainly not me. If it's not you, I think it's nobody.

    +1 for removing this since nobody is manning it.


I'll remove it then.

    Is the ASF Slack publicly available? I can't even remember. But I
    almost
    never look there myself, me being allergic to Slack. Surely there are
    those who are allergic to mailing lists. :/


Projects like Cassandra suggest using Slack for comms; see https:// cassandra.apache.org/_/community.html <https://cassandra.apache.org/_/ community.html>. I'm on a couple Slack channels daily for work, so I'm there :) If nobody is opposed, I think adding the Slack channel as an option for engaging is a good idea.

Seems reasonable. There is already a #tomcat channel that we could use. We could do exactly what the Cassandra project does and send users to the asf-invite page on Slack.
