Asking feedback from users who are not using Discourse… on Discourse (!) is 
absurd and the best way to not get any answers. (It is like asking "Everyone 
who does not speak English, please raise your hand!" in English.)

Note that we cannot use the reply by e-mail feature to answer in the thread 
because it is an already existing thread and so we will not get a 
notification to reply to if we turn on e-mail notifications now.

And that is exactly why Discourse will by design never be a replacement for 
a mailing list.

And that too.

And that is a logical consequence of having the web forum as the primary 
interface and mail as an afterthought rather than the opposite.

Some features such as editing posts just by design cannot work on a mailing 
list.
