I do have the skills to drive a mailman list from an infrastructure point of view including all the mta, spam etc. stuff with postfix & co, DNS etc. pp. We would need a maildomain + some hosting provider and now here it gets interesting - at least it is much less than the group.io prices written

[Evolution] The system of levels, badges and presents of Discourse

By closing individual mailman mailing lists and replacing it with a single forum, everything is under control of a single authority. There even isn't the need to moderate or ban users with unwanted opinions, since the users are educated by levels, badges and presents. IOW all users are under genera
