The recent difficult discussion on SSO here on -project made me think of a use case for which Discourse might be just the thing: Debian Enhancement Proposals[0]. I get the impression that having proposals discussed/peer reviewed on Discourse might be easier and more pleasant than on lists. For example, it would give a way to express agreement with something more visible than silence, it would give a way to get visible feedback other than negative, and give some measure of perceived relevance to the various contributions made to the discussion. I'm not sure if I would be motivated right now, or ever, to have another round of "peer review" like the one I just had, on a list. Discourse seems like it might be a venue for peer review that wouldn't make me feel like leaving the project after a couple of days of interaction.
