no one wants to see all those in their inbox.

Mailing list messages are easily filtered.

I have one mailbox for each mailing list I subscribe to, and I read through the 
messages in list order, which makes it easy to mentally switch gears from one 
project to the next.

Most people only have one mailbox. I presume you're referring to folders.


If one project gets out of hand for a while, I can mark only that one mailbox 
as “read” without declaring email bankruptcy on all my other email.

Forum software offers the very same functionality but that's not the direct purpose of it. In a mailing list you're either "in" or "out". A forum provides all possible options.
