As a final note, I've been referring to the #wikimedia-cloud-admin IRC channel and the cloud-admin mailing list as public venues. While technically true (the IRC channel and the mailing list archives are public), I don't think those are mentioned anywhere on Wikitech and cloud-admin subscription is moderated for non-staff (and I have a vague memory of my subscription being rejected before I had Toolforge admin access). I think there's some work to be done here to make it easier for people to get involved.
The cloud-admin@lists.wikimedia.org mailing list has always had public archives (which are much more useful now that we have mailman3) but closed membership. The intent of this list was never to be a forum for community discussion, but we did consciously choose to make the archives open so that interested parties could see the discussions that were held here.
