Discourse is a forum software that has multiple ways to access it: web, native apps, and email. It's not a mailing list software with a web frontend. The interesting (to me) parts are: - 2FA instead of Mailman's plaintext password - real moderation tools, that can scale with the community and encourage civility and code of conduct compliant behaviour - anti-spam measures - open source software (kind of a pre-requisite) - good UI for reading and replying to topics The Fedora (Silverblue) and Ubuntu communities already use Discourse, for instance; the SDL community also does.
