Mailman3 and Sympa are the two options that seem to be attracting community issues in the communities I frequent.
The difficulty with Discourse (and this may have changed) is that it used to treat the entire forum as though it were a single mailing list. You couldn’t subscribe to one subforum only without receiving everything else as well. This is why the Orca screen reader mailing list moved to freelists.org instead of becoming a Discourse forum. So far as VoiceOver accessibility is concerned, I haven’t tried Mailman3, Sympa (assuming it has a Web interface) or Discourse in a macOS environment. However, they’re all widely available and shouldn’t be hard to test.

This was a relatively recent change and previous groups got off with their existing plans. Details of the new structure are here, but basically it's about $18.33 per month, if paid yearly, for a minimum of 500 members, and there's support for receiving member donations to offset that. https://groups.io/static/pricing And, yes, there is always the option of self-hosting the mailing list and its web interface and archives on a smallish machine for a fixed cost. Is it a mailing list, in particular, that we'd want though? Mailman3 can pretend to be a web forum. Discourse is very popular and widely hosted forum software that just so happens to support allowing people to send and receive posts by email. Or we could just have an email server with no web presence at all, old-school. And don't forget AppleVis ...
