Nope. Both Discourse + NodeBB allow the ability to use them as a mailing list.
Thus, they require nothing more to use than the current system. (You require
a browser to sign up, but mailing lists here require the same thing as well).

I would argue it is significantly simpler with a forum as opposed to emails.
For NodeBB something like the following should be used:
```
mongoexport --db nodebb --out dump.json
```
JSON being a significantly more supported format than the mail format.

Can't ignore by tag and my clients don't support it. So what if this is just
the same? We've discussed numerous other advantages it would provide

I honestly think having both forum and mailing list will just result in
disjointed conversations. They either need to mirror each other or we need to
use just one.
If hosting is an issue, then I'd be willing to provide funding / host it
myself. Any concerns about it going down could be sorted just with a daily
cron job to back everything up to some publicly accessible dump hosted by
another party.

You can do that with the github repos used by TC39 proposals.
This thread isn't about proposals/RFCs, it's about moving the general
conversations in es-discuss away from email into Something Else.
But again, this has [all been discussed][1]. I don't see anything in that
thread about whether it was actually discussed at the July 2015 meeting(s) as
Brendan Eich suggested; I don't find anything relevant in the meeting notes for
all three meetings if I search for "es-discuss", "email", "mailing", or
"discourse".
