I used Google Groups for Firebug for many years with success. First posts are moderated; about half of new posts are spam. Once in a while you let some in that have to block from posting adverts or what ever. I wonder if js tools is really a subject however. I mean, 'firebug' is a subject one can discuss; 'web inspector', 'ES.next' etc are all topics but 'js-tools' is really a category. Everyone may have a different opinion and goal. jjb
