One benefit I find to mailing lists is that they are search engine
indexed, meaning when I google a warning or assertion error I often get
pointed to a mailing list thread that discusses the issue I am trying to
fix.
Being able to find such discussions and then follow them in thread
format is very valuable and saves quite a bit of time. I haven't used
Discourse so I don't know what the state of such a workflow is --
apologies in advance if this use-case is a non-issue.

As part of an attempt at making GTK more friendly to newcomers, I and
other core developers were thinking of moving the mailing lists from the
current mailman installation to Discourse:
https://discourse.org/
Possibly still hosted on GNOME infrastructure, depending on the
requirements for our sysadmins.
The GTK project would have various sub-topics, mostly around development
with and of GTK. Having a better archive search, a better moderation
system, and a decent web UI are the major selling points for switching
to Discourse. The fact that the project is also open source is neatly
aligned with our values.
Are there any objections? Did somebody already try out Discourse and has
opinions about it that they want to share with the community?
Ciao,
Emmanuele.
