This is an excellent point, and is similar to one that was made on a
similar discussion at the start of the year
<https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2016-January/038210.html>.
That thread focused more on Discourse <https://www.discourse.org/> as a
potential alternative to the mailing list for python-ideas, but a lot of
the arguments being made here on both sides are a repetition of what was
discussed there (and probably of what has been discussed several times over
the course of many years).
