The community is on GitHub.

For people who prefer working by email, GitHub allows that. Just set the
repo to "Watch" and you'll get emails in real time. Respond to email as
usual.

Committees of various other languages have been working like this
successfully.

I look forward to joining remotely in October.

Cheers,
Milan
