Usually efforts like this suck, but whatever WISPA did this year with the migration from a mailman system to an integrated forum\mailing list solution seems to work really well. It's not exactly like mailman, but it works very well.
Discourse?!? It's a great "forum" by some accounts, but it is one of the most seriously crappy mailing lists I have ever been subjected to. Without a word of exaggeration, it operates as if the developers had never seen a working mailing list. Quoting, signatures, sender addresses, reply-to addresses, HTTP vs text, archiving, threading, configuration - you name it, they screwed it up. Not in minor ways either. I hope all the above is wrong. My experience is about a year old. Maybe the software has been improved. At very least, make sure that your beta testers include a proper proportion of email-only users, and then listen to them.
