That's pretty much what discourse is - an attractive web interface to something like mailing lists, with the option to use a mail client interface as well as the web interface if you want. To be clear I am definitely not pushing for this kind of change (I think I must be quite old-fashioned because it seems to me that traditional mailing lists work fine), nor am I particularly against it. I am not sure what it is that caused gnome to move from mailman to discourse, but I suspect it was to get the more up-to-date feel of a web interface. I notice also that the ocaml "mailing list" also uses discourse, should anyone want to ask them what they get out of it.
