IMHO, I'd be careful about using private channels for communication regarding
open source projects. Don't be surprised if your message will go to /dev/null.

Open source projects have issue trackers, mailing lists and other *public*
*opt-in* channels which, IMHO, are the right ways to direct a project-specific
communication.
