Listing the OSM XMPP community on the OSM Community Index

For what it’s worth, the project’s maintainers previously used the same rationale to decline at least two other proposed worldwide resources

… including the addition of the precursor to this forum back in 2021

Joking apart, it does make perfect sense to ask for a CWG steer before adding more global resources. There are already (/me checks https://openstreetmap.community/) 8 of them, including a number not really designed for interaction or external commercial sites closed to those without a third-party login. In places where there are local groups, especially nested ones, it’s a lot for someone seeing the list for the first time to take in.
