I think dropping the mailing list for some forum would be a really bad 
idea. The mailing list is organized as a tree and most forums only 
support linear threads which get confusing very easily. Some forum with 
tree-structure (the code or reddit is open source, but i'm not sure how 
difficult it would be deploying an own installation of that) would be ok 
from that point, but i still see some possible problems in regard to 
archiving stuff there, since most of the data formats there will 
probably ways less portable than a mailing list archive.
