During the Gender Diversity BoF the point was raised that explicit information about how to reach out to package maintainers in e.g. the readme makes it a lot easier to actually reach out with questions / report issues etc., especially for newcomers. Not only valid for people from underrepresented genders of course, this should put the bar a bit lower for everyone.
Here is a suggestion, what we could write. I took some inspiration from the Tensors.jl readme. @koehlerson suggested that some people might like Zulip better than Slack, so he opened a Zulip channel today.
I think it would be great to incorporate such a section, please feel free to suggest changes to it if you'd like anything to be changed!
