Web forums are much more superior than mailing lists, in any possible
direction.
There's nothing a mailing list can provide a forum can't, since it
doesn't exclude email notifications.
However, there's loads of benefits a forum provides a mailing list can't
catch up with.
That's the reason why mailing lists are disappearing.

Ha! I can see there are strong opposing opinions for mail vs forum.
I find forums more neatly packaged.
Mailing lists are not easily browsed or searched for relevant terms.
Some run on mail topics are a pain to find the nugget of information
desired.
Forum responses can have votes or kudos assigned which hasten searches.
Still, you will suffer spammers in the forum as bots have figured the user
request pages.
With Fossil's unversioned content, the forum or mail bloat can be minimized.

no one wants to see all those in their inbox.
Mailing list messages are easily filtered.
I have one mailbox for each mailing list I subscribe to, and I read
through the messages in list order, which makes it easy to mentally switch
gears from one project to the next.
If one project gets out of hand for a while, I can mark only that one
mailbox as “read” without declaring email bankruptcy on all my other email.
