Sure. I realize it is quite long.

I am proposing that over the course of 2023, starting with the Changes
process, we move Fedora development conversations from this mailing list to
the Discourse-based Fedora Discussion.

Many Fedora folks, new and old, can't keep with this list. The number of
participants is down over time (even as the number of threads has risen).
Many teams are moving away from devel list anyway -- using various scattered
bug trackers as their effective "forum".

Discourse gives us better tools for the conversations we need to have as a
project. I know it takes some getting used to, but I strongly believe it
will be worth it.

Devel list actually covers a lot of different topics. Discourse lets us
categorize those better while still keeping it all together.

The first thing I suggest moving is discussion around proposed Changes. This
is a FESCo decision. The rest I won't duplicate here.
