++vote.
I find mailing lists incredibly annoying and out of place. And don't agree
with the signal/noise ratio equalling mailing lists/newsgroup. It has more
to do with registration to non-registration, regardless of mailing list or
newsgroup. Infact this is a newsgroup AFAIK for a long time:
gmane.comp.evolution.general
And it does make sense to use a mailing list with a something like gmane
and it's authorisation policy ontop to keep pleased all parties.
