subforum which purpose it is to discuss compiler implementation

this forum only gets spammed by some bot with pull-request

Questions asked there do get answered. Most of the developers access it 
via a mailing list, and it's pretty easy to filter out the github 
messages from the real stuff.

I'm in the same boat.  The Github events have a high 
noise-to-information ratio, and given that Github already has a 
way to subscribe to a repository's events, they seem redundant.
