Others are also looking at this: > https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/t/lets-try-to-emulate-a-mailing-list/1003 But Discourse is missing an NNTP gateway, which makes it highly impractical to use. There is an e-mail mode, which is (as already pointed out by others) in several ways inferior to a real mailing list, but no NNTP mode. I can browse this mailing list and post to it by subscribing gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel from news.gmane.org (default NNTP port 119, TLS encryption is supported with STARTTLS on the same port) with my favorite NNTP client (KNode). No spam in my mailbox, no annoying web interface, but a protocol and a client designed for discussion. As long as Discourse does not either offer its own NNTP gateway or gets Gmane gatewaying set up (which may require changes to its "mailing list mode" so that Gmane's scripts can work with it, and I also don't know whom to contact to get new lists added to Gmane, its current owners are not communicating well), it will always be painful to use.
