Discuss mailing list

[Christopher <weblionx AT gmail.com>]

If it maintains the mailing list functionality while also providing
forums I don't care much one way or the other. Only thing that stands
out to me is running a forum introduces a greater attack surface in
terms of security vulnerabilities. Web forums seem to have a large
patch rate to fix security flaws, so whoever maintains the forums
needs to keep up to date on it, consistently.
