It's worth noting that in general, you can use a Discourse forum _entirely_ in mailing-list mode if you want to. That is, you'll still see emails coming in from the system and can reply to them in your mail client of choice. On the backend, this translates into emails from you becoming forum posts on discourse, and new posts showing up as new messages in your inbox. We've got a bunch of users at pixls using it in mailing-list mode (myself included for a while initially). The caveat, of course, is that you'll still need to register for an account on the forum in the first place (to provide your email address and set up any settings you want initially). Another caveat is that the forum administrators need to enable this as an option - particularly for mailing *into* the forum to start a new topic (I have this turned off be default on pixls but will enable it shortly for y'all).
[snip] Is it true that topics get auto-locked after few weeks? That doesn't seem pretty smart in terms of software development or user support at all, if it's true. The same topic is discussed here and there, it's interesting (and a bit scary) to see feedback coming from discourse users - currently I'm following the midnight commander ML as well, hosted at gnome.org for historical reasons but definitely independent nowadays.
