I cannot see how that would be any different from now things are now. My idea would be to expand the amount of 
categories that are available, instead of having one just one big bucket for everyone. Our mailing list is a clear 
indication that size does not fit all.

We currently have a beta instance of Discourse running: https://www.discourse.org/features 
<https://www.discourse.org/features>

It gives us the same functionality as Mailman, with a more flexible, modern interface, and many new features. We 
will keep the community posted as we explore its functionality.

a big problem with forum <-> email gateways (or forums in general) is that
those using the forum are even less likely to a) filter themselves (ie:
decide that their "input" is useless and not reply) and b) figure out the
difference between reply and reply-all and choose wisely.
