I think any talk of migrating away from email is greatly premature. 
The Mailman folks have done a lot of fantastic work with Mailman 3 and 
Hyperkitty, which will bring many of the benefits of a web forum to the 
mailing lists. We should at least look at Hyperkitty before planning any 
widespread move away from email.
