Since Klaus revived the thread, I'm going to bite even though I tried
hard to resist :-P

What do you mean by "just like" a mailing list?  Can I read it with
mutt?  Can I privately edit entries when people post ugly messes
(top-posting, broken threads etc etc.)?  Can I search the archive by
message-id?  Is it automatically archived elsewhere (like gmane) when
the site is down?  These are some of the benefits of mailing list
vs. forums.

I guess the answer is still no, but I'll keep my mind open just an inch.
