Isn't Gmane a web forum style interface to email lists? That doesn't seem
much different than what fossil is now doing, though maybe my lack of
experience using Gmane is preventing me from seeing a difference.

As described by at least one other, I use email to track the fossil forum
just as I always have, and can log in there to post when I want. I can
appreciate why people who refuse to use a web interface might object to it,
but not Gmane.

There are potential cons to the forum, but there are pros as well.
