This was discussed in the community meeting today. No one was really enthusiastic, concerns that were brought up included the lack of an email interface, and an unclear boundary between issues and discussions.
FWIW, Discourse has an email interface. I'm not sure what is meant by "unclear boundary between issues and discussions"—that is not something our mailing list provides either.
If we move, importing the mailing list archives will clearly be important though, any replacement should be able to do this.
python.org allows us to download an mbox backup of numpy-discussion, and this archive can be imported into discourse. I'd be happy to do so as a proof of concept, if that would be helpful. Stéfan
