For me the problem is not Google, the problem is that it is a forum. A
forum is a place you have to go to to find out what is happening. Some
people like this. I want interaction to come to me. In particular it
needs to be in my email. Google has this idea that if you sign up for
email notifications, you get notified of the presence of an event, you
still have to go to the forum to discover the content of the
contribution.
Nicely put. I've been on some places where notifications come in and you
have to click through (and possibly sign in!) and after a bit that extra
step becomes do it later, and do it later turns into never. An email I
can scan and decide pretty much immediately. And then delete it.
That last point is important. I get to manage my own interaction.

Nobody has proposed replacing the mailing list, or changing it in any way.
Somebody just started a G+ community as well, and thought you all might
like to know.
