+1

Being a bit pedantic: There is no additional party here, GNOME Discourse is
hosted on the same infrastructure as mailman (and managed by the same sysadmin
team)

GNOME has a common Privacy Policy/CoC for both, IIRC the GNOME Discourse ToS is
fairly short and standard

To join a mailman list requires
 - Email
 - Password
 - Optional Name

To join Discourse requires

 - Email
 - Password
 - Optional Name
 - Username (could be same as email)

So really the only difference in terms of joining the "list" is the need to
pick a username/handle, and that your email address is private by default
