        Is it too much overhead to create/maintain a Fossil forum page
        with phpBB or similar? A mail list seems so linear to capture
        diverse ideas and proposed solutions. Let alone, scanning past
        issues is far from efficient.


    Forums are unfortunately no less subject to spam than email is
    (the main advantage is that it's possible to remove spam from
    forums, which leads us nicely to my next point...), and have much
    higher maintenance costs (time/effort) than mailing lists.

Ah, another apparent side effect of this change is that users now get a copy of their own posts sent to them. That wasn't the case before.
