Personally, I think you are focused too narrowly and aren't seeing the
forest for the trees. Email protocols were long ago standardized. As a
result, people can use any of a large number of applications to read and
organize their email. To my knowledge, there is no standardization amongst
the various forum tools out there. I'm not suggesting discuss is
necessarily better or worse than other (often not open source) forum tools,
but each one implements its own walled garden. I'm referring more broadly
than just Python, or even Python development, though even within the Python
community it's now difficult to manage/monitor all the various discussion
sources (email, discuss, GitHub, Stack Overflow, ...)

Get off my lawn! ;-)

Skip, kinda glad he's retired now...
