I love your enthusiasm. A mailing list has no means to type check 
messages, so I think it does call for a more simplified mechanism, 
especially as a first pass (note that the machine is necessarily 
nondeterministic, since different people can cause it to transition at 
the same time by sending a message).

I'd argue that questions and answers are just normal threads, that don't 
need a state, and issues just need an open state, and a closed state. 
/The details of the of those states are in the threads for anyone who 
cares to look/. So, OPEN/CLOSED and let the threads speak for themselves.

In this way, there are just two kinds of discussions: tracked, and 
untracked. Newbies can quickly pick up the OPEN/CLOSED grammar. People 
can meander threads between the richer states in their discussion, 
hopefully with good subject lines, and 'bots just need to look for one 
pair of keywords, ignoring threads without those keywords. I don't 
actually use emacs for email, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard 
for someone to write an elisp script to scan a mailbox/maildir to gather 
a list of subject lines--is this true?
