Thanks fungi, that's the crux of the problem I'd like to see discussed in
the governance change.
In this change, it states the non-use of existing and official
communication tools as to be "cumbersome". See my comment on PS1, I thought
the original concern was technical.

Why are we discussing about WeChat now ? Is that because a large set of our
contributors *can't* access IRC or because they *prefer* any other ?
In the past, we made clear for a couple of times why IRC is our
communication channel. I don't see those reasons to be invalid now, but I'm
still open to understand the problems about why our community becomes de
facto fragmented.
