Discord is a great way of receiving help for members of the community that are not on the mailing list or not familiar with Libera.

Adding it to the official documentation will aid discoverability of it.

Good addition.

Now we cannot take it back as the link is already in the list archive, even if we wanted to retract it? Then there is no extra harm done if I applied this patch to my tree and the documentation update becomes part of a release in the future ;-)

"the unofficial" -> "an unofficial", perhaps, as by definition an unofficial thing is not something the project _endorsed_ to be the one and only one?

Thanks.

It may be better to use the link already shared on https://git-scm.com/community .

This matches the result of my local fixup (you could have just said YesPlease when I said that I'll locally fix-up). Will replace.

Thanks.
