Somebody needs to put a notice about obligatory subscription to Mailman to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/python-ideas/ if nobody wants more tight groups integration.
Whoever created that can put up the notice. I've never even heard of this Google Groups mirror to know who would be the one to do that. I really do not think anything is going to happen here - it works fine for everyone else and the hundreds of other mailing lists on python.org as well as the thousands of mailing lists around the world. Responding to old threads seems to be your biggest point for this, but you can always start a new thread and say "bringing up this topic from 6 months ago", link the original thread, then restart discussion - that's acceptable.
