Be aware that mailing lists have a pretty long history, at least in
computing terms. You might be interested in reading:
http://www.gweep.ca/~edmonds/usenet/ml-etiquette.html
sometime. When you say that mailing lists don't make sense, it's analogous
to a traveler who says that the foreign country they visit doesn't make
sense. Sure, it might be true, but it does have echoes of the "ugly
American" stereotype.
And there is a difference between mailing lists like Python Tutor vs. sites
like Quora: the mailing list has a public-access archive.
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/ In contrast, Quora requires that
you get an account from them to even _look_ at their database.

Hmmm... Does mapbox provide a programmable API? It looks like it may:
http://mapbox.com/developers/api/
but if I'm reading it correctly, it's a JavaScript API that depends on a
web browser, not one that's natively accessible from Python. I don't think
it's accessible without a website, so I see no advantage over using Google
Maps.
