I strongly disagree on the fact that Discourse is a sophisticated solution that replicates all mailing list features. I use discourse to interact with the CPython development community and the experience is so poor I really don't understand how the CPython developers manages to use it as their main communication channel. Discourse replicates the experience of using a mailing list only if your interaction with email is via a web email client of the late 90ies: there is no support for threading of the replies, the HTML email sent by tre system have an horrible formatting where emphasis is on the decorative parts rather than on the content, etc.. Email notifications are also delivered with completely unpredictable criteria or at least so if feels without spending too much time tweaking settings. I now enable the "mailing list mode", maybe it will work better. Finally, I don't see why Discourse (by default, at least) needs to give Facebook the opportunity to track all my activity on the platform.
