if they are connected, then there isn't anything to be decidet.
Well, there was already the hint that gmane or Google Groups can do exactly that *or even do it* (mirror the mailing list in a Web based forum-like view). But apparently it did not find enough acceptance (including myself).
My main objection is that a mailing list is inherently not structured. And automatic structuring by threads (common subject title) is not enough - it is just one level. And the main argument for a forum is to have a better structure for newcomers so that they find solutions more easily. So I doubt that it works in practive.
And it would enforce all mailing list proponents a new habit: e.g. to add a [Subforum] to new posts. From my impression, they do not want to do that because they are completely happy with what they already have!
