My 2 cents: usenet (NNTP; port=119) is still alive, simple and useful: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!overview (it is also accessible via the web).
Their posts search engine works very well.

Best regards.

Afaik, gmane is mostly abandoned. Sooner or later it seems that it
will completely stop to work. His web interface is already offline.

Personally, I use news://news.gname.org to read and possibly respond to 
the mailing of different groups of Firebird.

I never use anything by Google as I do not like how they handle their user data 
so cavalierly.  In any event, If moving the Yahoo mail data to a Google Groups 
platform would make it easy for the development team than I would see this as 
an appropriate solution.
 

 However for the type of technical support and discussion that is going on 
within this area, I would prefer to see a technical forum implemented where it 
is easier to catalog and search through various topic threads for answers to 
questions that have posted solutions while allowing everyone to initiate new 
threads of discussion for new issues that arise.
 

 ProBoards has a free version of their forums, which looks quite good for this 
type of discussion...

 

 Just my 2cents...
