I agree with Andrey. Design discussions about a library currently under review are supposed to take place on the mailing list. This serves two purposes, it helps reviewers who for any reason are struggling to reach a final accept/reject verdict, and it can encourage people to review the library by piquing their interest.
In hindsight I wish the discussions had taken place on the mailing list. Yet there was far less friction on Slack and ultimately I chose the path of least resistance, as the immediacy of replies in the moment led to a more engaging conversation.
I'm not sure I understand. Is what happened here that the review result was driven (even if in part) by information provided to the review manager _outside_ of the mailing list, and this information was _not_ shared by the review manager with the mailing list? If so, I would be surprised if more people aren't upset with the review. Glen
