to be clear, that is part of the "actively maintained" criteria
- as those channels are the only contact information given on the
project website; this currently fails that criteria

just to note, this is another good example of why to avoid using
third-party services to host critical infra - the "actively
maintained" criteria considers communication to be critical -
o/c there is no criteria about using third-party services for
that, as long as users do not need to run non-free software to
communicate with the project - its just a very good idea

i see it as a natural corollary to software freedom; and that is
why i would prefer to hold the "complete distro" criteria to
it's strict interpretation - software users need to be able to
control their own computing - likewise, software projects need
to be able to control their own infrastructure, for all of the
same reasons
