Hi,
I'm not a Developer, I'm just a Fedora user and I'm subscribed to
several mailing list from the Fedora Project, including the mailing
list related to Development discussion on Fedora.

I rely primarily on GMail Web client, I use filters to get all the
emails sorted by mailing lists. To be honest I don't see the need to
move the discussions from mailing list to any forum alike driven
discussion board.

And I share other members views from members of this list and the
devel list: If this mailing list or any other is ditched in favor of
this new shinny thing I don't plan to move to that and will stop
reading and attending discussions.

* It is not possible to start discussions from a mailing list so that
it can appear on Discourse.
* Despide having a _mailing list_ mode it does not fit or actually
lack some features mailing list have, so for me is not a good
replacement contrarily to what was stated on one of these threads.

There is a new thread on Discourse that was created to address a topic
on non English languages category and I don't plan to participate
there.

Polite as usual,
Porfirio.
