Mailing lists and GitHub/GitLab issues are the main semi-formal
communication channels the Scheme community is already using. Many are
averse to making decisions affecting all of Scheme in the latter since
they are commercially hosted. That's probably wise caution.

That leaves only a mailing list as a realistic choice.

A separate forum would have to be set up, maintained, and people would
have to check it separately. That's a lot of effort for an only slightly
more appropriate communication structure. Ideally the project is
low-traffic enough that the level of traffic is not a burden to casual
subscribers.

These seem like reasonable ways to do it.

Good idea. If the master copies are in a git repo, the repo can also
have a Scheme script to generate static HTML pages.
