Just my 2 cents. I do not think including a forum module in
fossil is a good idea. Forum software is an entire project by
itself. Over the years I tried various open source forum
software for my various project websites. Simple Machines Forum
(SMF) is the go-to one that I use. It has various anti-spam
modules and add-ons that work well and is easy to setup,
administer, and moderate. Plenty of options to configure with as
little or as much protection as desired.

I think a forum is a better way to go. Easy to search and browse
topics. Have just a few boards. SQLite, Fossil, FAQ, maybe a
couple of others. I find forums that use too many boards
annoying and difficult to decide which board I should post a
specific question. Email addresses can be hidden so the issue of
scrapping goes away.
SMF (and most other forum software) allows private messaging. So
it is never necessary for anyone to have a specific persons
email thereby solving the main issue.
