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(a)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.
