Many of us actually value having this kind of thing come into our inbox. I
try to consolidate all my feeds, mail, etc into one mechanism where I can
handle it all together. Personally, I actually even use a mail client that
consolidates RSS feeds to make them look like emails.
Why use a message board when I've already got a mechanism for having
messages pushed to me, filtered, archived etc? Doesn't it mean yet more
passwords to remember? More URLs to remember or bookmark? More browser
windows open? More things for me to check? :-)
Message boards also provide poor threading (someone else has probably
already mentioned this) - message boards can't easily do conversations
that branch into multiple threads of discussion.

Why would you want to do that - just clutters up an inbox...

Why? What can you do on a mailing list that you can't do on a message
board?
Erm, mail it?

Mailing lists are a much more developer friendly approach. Probably
the most common mechanisms out there in the many developer communities
("When in Rome...").

Why don't you set up an onshore BBC message board instead?

Alright alright! I hear you all...
So what's the first steps to make this happen?
You could walk down to my end of the office and ask me about it? :-)
