Just keep the discourse stuff for onboarding/mentoring/informal stuff and mailing list for "votes"/substantive decisions IMO.

Speaking as a dinosaur - like Matti - I personally prefer email, but I
would say that, despite reservations, my experience with Discourse
hasn't been too bad. You can ask it to send emails, so you don't
have to monitor it separately. I have heard Eric L's comment from
others, about greater traffic from Discourse than using email. When I
went to check for one project, the traffic looked to be of reasonable
quality.
Cheers,
Matthew
