There is a small catch though: unless I'm mistaken, Discourse won't let
you subscribe to just a set of categories, so any filtering has to
happen on the Mailman side.
Well, it is actually possible to achieve what you want.
I have set up Discourse in mailing-list mode [1].
By default muted categories are not included in the emails you get in
mailing list mode.
So, you just need to mute all categories you don't care about. It is a bit of
work, but it needs to be done only once.
Until a new category is made.
To have an almost complete equivalent of the topics that were once
discussed on python-dev, you can just mute every thing except the "Core
Development" category. This is the setting I am using since a while and
I am quite happy with it. You may want to unmute the "PEPs" category as
well.
Otherwise, that sounds like a workable approach.
FYI, a recent post to the Ideas Discourse category has these relevant
headers:
X-Discourse-Post-Id: 77785
X-Discourse-Topic-Id: 19277
List-ID: Discussions on Python.org | Ideas <ideas.discuss.python.org>
List-Archive:
https://discuss.python.org/t/expanding-asyncio-support-for-socket-apis/19277
You can filter on List-ID to select a category, which would avoid muting
a lot of categories.
Threading info is kept quite nicely, so I read the discourse mail notifications
as if it were a mailing list and I almost do not see any difference. Text is
sometimes a bit messy if people heavily use the discourse formatting
capabilities, but this kind of posts are quite rare in my experience.
Discourse formatting is MarkDown, which is at least pretty easy to read.
This does not solve the problem of engaging actively in a discussion, of
course, but at least for me it is OK to login to discourse if I have to post,
given that 99.99% of the time I just want to read posts in my mail client.
Yah.
The tricky bit to my mind is that if the flow is just Discourse->Mailman
then people replying on the mailing list do not get seen by the
Discourse users.
