Hi Sean, in my experience of DEP driver and Policy editor, long discussion archives, especially when they spread over multiple years, are a barrier to contribution. Not only they are increadibly noisy (think for instance of discussion archives in the BTS mostly made of quotes of the previous messages), but also they are not even comprehensive (for instance when part of the discussion happens on IRC or at Debconf). In that sense, I would expect structured discussion systems such as Discourse to be a potential time saver, and therefore lower the barrier for contribution to everybody: those who contribute their point of view, and those who summarise them.
