Yes, I use NNTP to read many of the Python mailing lists.  Gmane, even in its current state, is fantastic.

I’m all for supporting the next generation of developers, but not necessarily at the expense of *decades* of established workflow for current developers.  Moving to Discourse breaks this and proliferates browser tab syndrome.  It’s an experiment worth conducting, but I do think it’s a bit cavalier to shut down python-committers without further discussion.
