I think that it would be good to enable githhub discuttion tab.
Why split the community across multiple discussion forums? It decreases the exposure of posts while requiring contributors to keep up with several channels.

This is not aboust splitting anythin.
Mailing list requires substribing.
If someone has GH account it is EASIER for example ast single question withut redym mailinh list traffic.
Github discussions can be a simple forum for projects that don’t already have one.
Python uses Discuss, so adding another forum would needlessly split the discussions and make people more confused about where to ask questions.
Discuss lets you sign up using your Github account, so the friction is minimal.

You are on one forum, asking for a different and unrelated forum to be activated. Either you’re asking to split discussions into two places, or you’re asking us to move everything wholesale to GitHub. And either way, you didn’t give us any reason for it, other than
… this. And I’ll be brutally honest, if the effort required to sign up for Discourse is a significant part of the work of posting, then it’s a low-effort post that we don’t want to encourage. Put a little bit of effort into your posts to make them look better, and they’ll make YOU look better.
Are there any good reasons for this migration, or is it pure laziness on your part?

Note to the uninitiated: The various Python groups have been split
across multiple (separate) forums for a while now. It’s challenging
enough already to know where to post. Let’s not make things even more
complicated.
