For the meta-project I'm coordinating [1] I had been using both, but�relying on�the forum as the default.� This is because in our case there has been much, much higher engagement on the forum lately.� In fact in many cases appeals to the mailing list brought zero responses but at least 1 or 2 in the forum (I still intend to engage the mailing lists periodically though). So maybe there needs to be a policy for MeeGo official activity (I would prefer the forums but that's just how I roll) but then for community initiatives let us work out what works best on a case by case basis?
