I have used Discourse and yes it does behave pretty much like a webforum from
90s.

Exactly this. While swanky it really does nothing new but takes away
accessibility since there will be a gazillion email notifications which in and
of themselves are useless. With a mailing list I can just reply directly
instead of having to switch to a different interface.
This just adds a step and forces me to use a particular client.
I realized now that this mail sounds really negative. To add nuance: great
suggestion and I'm all for changing things if the new things solves the problem
better than the old things. Discourse however, doesn't seem to do that.
