As an already Apache Committer of Struts, I also prefer mail list like Jim. I fell in love with MXNet and I'm still learning hard to being able to have contributions one day. It was somehow hard for me to also register and daily monitor another system (your user forum). My feel was same as your current feel about a new mail list, but, I remembered one rule in Apache Way: "At Apache, deciders are who do the work". And as I didn't have any contribution till that time, then I thought I must respect your decision, so I registered there! However, I personally still recommend sticking together with Apache INFRA under Apache Way umbrella as much as possible. I think these help us to standardize things, understanding each other better and finally get a graduation from Apache Incubator. Anyway, finally, you who have done or do the work, are deciders :) Best Regards.
