[OpenStack-Infra] Merging this list into openstack-discuss

Nothing against. Still, I would like to mention the fact that our mailing list implementation does not encourage new users to engage, as it requires them to subscribe to the list.

I found that more people are likely to engage with a web based platform, one that would allow them to easily login post a message or follow a specific topic, without being "subscribed" to the mailing list.

Apparently the v3 of mailman went into the "forum" direction and seems to have implemented a very friendly interface.

Python seems to use it https://mail.python.org/archives/
