Ughm, and so what?! We should be jumping hysterically around new(er)
trends in online collaborative communication and use them, just because
they are the newest popular thing? Mail just works.

No we wouldn't. Mail is convenient for some people, including me. A web
forum is awkward and inconvenient. Mail is delivered to me automatically
and I can read it whenever I can. A web forum I have to go to and check
regularly. It is better for me to use a single, comfortable interface
that is my mail client and I'm  used to, than some text area / box  in a
browser, that can't save a draft and I might loose what I've written so
far if the browser crashes (happens). I guess it is pretty much the same
for everybody who uses the mailing list.

Use the forum if it suits you, but my opinion is that mail (and mailing
lists) are proven and useful technology that Trisquel should keep using.
