Personally, I never found administering mailing lists to be all that
challenging. Also, I think it's worth taking into consideration what works
best for users, not just admins. There are far more interactions with
discussion media by users than administrators. My personal preference as a
user is for mailing lists (everything is funneled through the same user
interface rather than several not-quite-identical forum and social media
interfaces - I do more than just Python stuff online, and suspect many
other people do). Still, I understand that I am a dinosaur and the world is
changing, so I shouldn't be surprised that a meteor is approaching.
