I revisited this topic and tried all referenced webs (thanks for that).

Most of them are either provided as code you can install and *maintain* 
yourself. This is something I would like to avoid.
Or it is paid (Discourse). Are we willing to pay for such service?

Ask and Mailman3 does not fit our needs IMO. I do not want (and I suppose 
others as well) discussion about Copr projects
in general (those who want that are already on this mailing list). I want 
discussion platform for every single project
on Copr. And creating mailing list for every projects is probably over-kill.

So unless someone is volunteering to maintain Isso or Hashover instance, I see 
only viable option either paid plan of
Discourse or free (as a beer) but not free (as libre) Disqus. Or nothing.
