I share the similar view with Tanja on this. With slack, you want to have an immediate response for something trivial such as "I saw a link regarding Jakarta JMS announcement somewhere I could not find. Does it exist? " . "My PR is ready for review. Can someone take a look?". This is kind of informal chat. It is also suitable for something trivial and you will worry about sending spams etc. For anything significant and need a lot of discussions, I think mailing list is a better place.
I think we need to be frank with ourselves: no one can follow up all conversations and we don't need to. We should accept it. It is not a bad thing. Let's not to block the communications just becasue we cannot keep up with it. Personally, I don't read every slack message and I don't have time to respond and process every message on the channels I was invited. It is ok. I can always ask questions there and get helped. I'll help others if I am available or am directly tagged.
While Slack is becoming a communication standard, it is still
relatively informal way of communicating. The voting, decision
making and key messages will be sent via email still. I can see on
Slack one can initiate a debate or discussion, but we need to
mindful that not everyone uses Slack so email had to be official
way of communicating.
Thanks,
Tanja

The workspace uses the free plan so only the
last 10k messages are archived.
Is there a web page that archives the Jakarta EE
Development Slack
conversations? If yes, that might be useful for
referencing
conversations that occur there.
Thanks,
