If I may put few random thoughts here. GitHub usage is inevitable. The interface is so good with clear discussion and review options that it would be really worthy to check it out for all PHP RFCS in the future. The main worry here is basically that one day GitHub will go offline and that discussion will be lost. Repository however will stay in the Git repo and will be "timeless". Very rarely one will want to look at the old (several 10 years) discussion comments. This is not a problem because even with having an email archive online very rarely someone will return to such discussion. RFC content is there and will be there for PHP to move "elsewhere" though if such hypothetical case comes.
