I think, the formal media for the review discussion is the mailing list.
Yes, reviews may be collected through other channels, but the discussion
needs to be held in one place that is easily referenceable, and this is
currently the ML.

I'm not invalidating any points that may have been made on Slack or
elsewhere, but I'm saying that the fact that the discussion was held
outside the ML is an organizational issue that should probably have been
prevented by the review manager.

I'm not subscribed to Slack and I imagine, there are other users who
also aren't subscribed. AFAIK, Slack spaces are not viewable by
non-subscribers, which make it unsuitable for referenceable discussions
such as Boost reviews.
