Hi Quim -

Perhaps it would be helpful if you were to identify what types of lists are
suitable for mirroring, and what happens when they are mirrored, because
that is not clear from your post.  (And no, I don't want to have to have
*another* software experience just to ask these questions.)

For example:

   - Are all mirrored lists publicly accessible and viewable?  Is there a
   way to control even read-only access?
   - Are private mailing lists suitable for Discourse?
   - Is everything archived? If so, how, and who controls them?
   - Can archives be modified, and if so, by whom?
   - How does editing/responding to mailing list posts on the Discourse
   mirror get reflected in the main mailing list?
   - Can lists have individual guidelines that are different from the
   "common" ones?

I will note that all of the lists I administer are *not* public lists, and
several are non-archiving.  They each have different guidelines as to what
should and should not be included and/or discussed on them.

By sending a message to this list, you email all admins of all lists. To 
request technical changes for a specific list, instead create a task in 
Phabricator. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists
