The D language folks have a great system at https://forum.dlang.org The web interface is exactly the same as the mailing lists, which are exactly the same as the newsgroups, which also produces an ATOM/RSS feed and an IRC bot. Any access reads and, if possible, posts to the same streams of messages. And, yes, it's open source - AGPL 3.0. It does depend on having a working NNTP server behind the scenes, but the good news there is that the one they test against is INN, which is packaged in Debian. -dsr-
