I'm not sure wether having a web-based user forum solves this issue as
it would be yet another place to look up a potential solution in. I'd
also argue that a web-based forum doesn't provide anything mailing lists
can't when it comes to the ability to have threaded discussions.
In my opinion there are two things to potentially solve here:
- discoverability of information across the various places where these
could've been found (debbugs, mailing list archives, irc logs, docs);
which more or less boils down to having better search options.
- if there are questions that common that they usually get asked
frequently/looked up frequently, that's usually an indicator to
improve documentation on the topic.

This would most likely mean a split across three locations, IRC, mailing
list and a potential forum, instead of just two then.
