+1.
I never monitor web based forums. There are too many URLs to
poll. Two URLs would be too many for me (not enough brain
cells). Email gives me one place to read everything. I can set
up filters (there are some people on my killfile), I can read
my backlog of mailing lists at the mall, with no connectivity,
and all I ever need to do is start my email client when there's
connectivity. A two-way gateway between forum and Mailman
would be perfect.

Another sign of a weak team is poor development hygiene. ...
Examples of development hygiene include source code versioning,
maintenance of an accurate bug or issue database, significant use of
automated testing, continuous integration, and specifications that are
kept current (whether incredibly detailed or high-level overviews).
