I like the way perl.org does just this. Their lists are available as both mailing lists and as newsgroups.So the suggestion is:I think this is a terrible idea, unless... we had a mail->news gateway which would expose the lists as news groups.
All Users lists become forums.
Developer lists stay.
Only problem I see there is that Developers won't check the forums as much
as they should, unless the Users forum has a mail list interface.
It seems much of the reason people want to have forums is for the search abilities. There are mail archives available but I must I agree many are so limited in their search abilities and/or interface that they do not help much.
Maybe the following combination would keep all happy. lists + lists as newsgroups + really good interface/search of archives
