Mostly because we need archives of all discussions under our management. We
need to keep this stuff around "forever". It is hard to do that with
third-party services.

We also need discussions (and archives) that are as open to participation
as possible. email is the LCD for that. There are *many* copies of our
archives, and many tools for participation around our email lists.
