A possible alternative to Google would be to host this group as a forum on a public Fossil repository.
Fossil is a source control system similar to Git. But unlike Git, a fossil repo can include its own forum (as well as wiki and issue tracking), and it has a built-in web interface. A Fossil repo is contained in a single SQLite database file, so there's no separate DB engine to monitor, and backups/migrations are dead simple. The Fossil project itself uses a forum-only repo to host its own forum, you can see it here: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forum Fossil can send email updates (per-message or daily digest) to users. The only thing we would lose by this arrangement is the ability to reply to a post by email. It seems to me this would be a good, simple way to both enable and archive Racket discussions in a permanently usable format.
