I think there's benefit in creating a djangoproject.com/discord or
djangoproject.com/chat to redirect to https://discord.gg/xcRH6mN4fa.

That code is obfuscated and is weird for other communities/people to
share. When individuals share links to the Django discord, it's not
possible to inspect that it's actually the correct server. I think sharing
a djangoproject.com link, even if it redirects, is more trustworthy.

There's also the scenario in which something happens Discord's end and the
code were invalidated, we'd have a number of places to change. It might be
worth to start that process sooner rather than later.

Comment:

I do believe the idea has merit but issues/feature requests pertaining to
the djangoproject.com website
[https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/ are tracked on its
respective Github repository]; Trac is used for the development of the
Django project itself.

Comment (by Timothy Schilling):

I created it here since it would impact the documentation and that felt
like the biggest hurdle to the change. The issues to retire the
[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35908 django-users and django-devs
mailing lists] and to [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35999 swap
IRC for discord] have tickets which is why I assumed this would require a
ticket.

Comment:

If we opened tickets for these other improvements Trac might be a valid
place to discuss this :shrug:

I wasn't aware we used Trac to track such work over forums discussions
that link to respective PRs (e.g. against django/djangoproject.com)

No, you're right. It looks like it started with a thread with branches for
the pieces of work.
