We already lost existing Debian developers due to this. I remember a discussion with Ryan Murray (who was very involved a long time ago!) and he expressed concerns over our use of email and GPG. And the fact that you must share your email to everybody to be able to take part into conversations (in particular given how this leads to spam). He was also concerned with the need to do all work under our real identity. Looking into contributors.d.o and db.debian.org, he might have requested his data to be dropped... Email mailing lists are driving some people away. It's a fact. Web forum discussions are also driving some people away. I'm an email guy too, but I find discourse really interesting and I'm ready to give it a try (even if I'm above 40!).
