As Pete says, it's simply not credible that the underlying problem is
Mailman. Perhaps the Gnome people don't want to support Mailman, or
don't want to host it, but many technical lists, including all the
lists on the Fedora project, are based on Mailman and I see no
indication that this is going to change. They did introduce a web
interface called HyperKitty which some people use (and which I
cordially dislike) but it's a lot less lame than Discourse and does
properly interact with the lists without any setup required from the
user.
