I think it is important to notice that GitHub actively blocks user registration and activity from countries that are sanctioned by the US government. At least in 2019 GitHub was blocking users from IPs located in Cuba, North Corea, Syria, Crimea, Iran, etc (see for example [1]). They block, of course, users of any nationality, if they happen to be traveling or living in those countries. I could not find any clear official statement from GitHub, but I think this is something to consider nonetheless, especially now that the Python community is making great efforts to become more welcoming and diverse. The fact of excluding a significant part of the potential contributors based on a random list by a random government over which the Python community as a whole has no influence whatsoever seems a move in the wrong direction.

[Python-Dev] Re: Switching to Discourse

Well, it is actually possible to achieve what you want. I have set up Discourse in mailing-list mode [1]. By default muted categories are not included in the emails you get in mailing list mode. So, you just need to mute all categories you don't care about. It is a bit of work, but it needs to be done only once. To have an almost complete equivalent of the topics that were once discussed on python-dev, you can just mute every thing except the "Core Development" category. This is the setting I am using since a while and I am quite happy with it. You may want to unmute the "PEPs" category as well. Threading info is kept quite nicely, so I read the discourse mail notifications as if it were a mailing list and I almost do not see any difference. Text is sometimes a bit messy if people heavily use the discourse formatting capabilities, but this kind of posts are quite rare in my experience. This does not solve the problem of engaging actively in a discussion, of course, but at least for me it is OK to login to discourse if I have to post, given that 99.99% of the time I just want to read posts in my mail client.
