Yes, please do. plug-chat@ or chat@

As a real example, FreeBSD has a chat@ where anything can be discussed. 
When a technical or FreeBSD list becomes of-topic, the posters politely 
redirect the emails to chat@: "Our conversation has become off-topic. I 
have changed to chat@ and bcc'd this list -- please continue the 
discussion on chat@."
