Boy, you guys are busy - I can't keep up with the list at this rate.  
I know I've mentioned this at least a couple of times, and others too,
but: 

why aren't we talking about one forum (not interface, just forum) with
three interfaces: 

1) regular mailing-list style 
2) USENET style (i.e. a newsgroup served by news.opensuse.org or
similar)
3) webforum. 


There are various examples of this out there already, some good, some
bad.  At linuxprinting.org they run mailing-lists bi-dir gated to a
forum.  At isc.org they run mailing-lists bi-dir gated to a newsgroup. 
gmane.org is probably the best-known example of gating mailing-lists to
newsgroups (and a web-interface).  I personally bi-dir gate all my
mailing-lists with a news-server.

If the webforum need is only about getting a different interface that
less tech-savvy people can better understand or work with, then I don't
see a problem.  Just get going - it can't be that difficult bolting on
a webforum *slave* to the mailing-list *master*.
