Not sure what this PR is about, I do not see any file changed according to github. Perhaps it is missing a commit?

There are three commits merging branches, this might cause trouble depending on the order of merging the PR.

ordering-wise, do we want to direct people to the R-devel slack first?

Yes, it would be better to order that way. Thanks!

Similarly, might better to put the R-devel mailing list next as the place for discussions requiring the attention of R Core (since more R core members on the mailing list than on Slack). Then mention R-announce for news and the other mailings list for help with using R/package development.

@hturner and @MichaelChirico :
I've included the R-announce and R-packages mailing lists in the chapter News and Announcements.
Does the order of mailing lists in this chapter look appropriate now -- R-devel, R-help, R-package-devel?

Besides the platforms mentioned here, would Zulip be considered anytime in the future?

Good start Saranjeet, I've added some suggestions to reorganize this chapter a bit, emphasizing the more relevant resources for people wanting to contribute to R.
