Conversely, implementing mailing list software from scratch is nontrivial, and so any embedded discussion mechanism within Zanata will get the pleasure of reinventing bugs solved ages ago in more mature listservs. Perhaps a compromise feature would be some sort of

I agree we don't have reinvent the wheel but it should be with least maintenance effort. I think - as you indicate - that requires some (semi-)automatic process to reliably subscribe Zanata users to the respective language lists and probably to unsubscribe if they leave the team. I don't know if that's technically feasible or who can do that. -- Thanks, Robert
