You mean Discourse, I guess.

Using https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/releng/ feels a bit like a stretch
to me, compared to the existing https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/ scheme,
so might want a separate team project in Gitlab.

Regarding getting acquainted to new infrastructure technology:
  For Gitlab I have at least found out that
https://gitlab.gnome.org/profile/notifications
allows defining mail notifications on a per-project level.
  For Discourse I have no idea how to set notifications for an r-t
channel / category / whatever it's called.
And no idea about anything else because I find zero documentation at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Discourse which makes me wonder if there is an
underlying expectation that everyone somehow automagically self-learns
new stuff by having way too much spare time to experiment around... :-/

Cheers,
