My experience is according Kat says. Having more communication options
induce a bit of confusion and lack of fluidity in the conversation. And
Discourse is a great tool for talk (and fine for mailing list
equivalente).

Considering many discussion should be managed through gitlab issues to add
a third communication channel (the traditional mailing list) is too much
enough :-)
