This is a great idea, and something that we would want to boost from Promo to 
the outside world.

It would also probably make for a decent pilot discussion forum on the 
Discourse instance we are testing:

https://discuss.kde.org/t/would-this-be-a-good-place-for-the-linux-distro-mailing-list/142/1

I would help us gauge whether the platform is popular and usable by external 
actors, i.e., the folks in charge of distros with KDE implementations.

Cheers
