We use IRC/[matrix] in cases where we need quick feedback on specific issues. IRC/[matrix] are also places where you can get community support from.  In fact, our IRC/[matrix] channels are bridged, so let's consider them as a single place. 
  
 With the mailing lists, all content is public. The major (long term) discussions happen on the mailing lists. Also the dicussions from the bug tracker are cross-posted to one of the lists (x2go-dev ML). Before you can send to one of the X2Go mailing lists, you have to get a subscription. This is to avoid spam on the mailing lists. With the mailing lists, all content is public. The major (long term) discussions happen on the mailing lists.
