I like the mailing list for news items: new releases, This Week in Rust, RFCs for discussion, etc. Maybe replace it with a news-only list where all posts are moderated?
This is one thing both discourse and RFCs don't seem to be good at: summarised news (e.g. notifications on new RFCs/discourses and daily compilations of comments). Just my 2 cents.
