Honestly, if a "how to configure discourse to mimic the MUA-managed mailing list experience (ie not having to log into a web site after the initial configuration)" document is produced, that's probaby sufficient to overcome most of these objections, because then the setup cost is one-off, and the ongoing "interact with Fedora-devel" cost won't be any greater than it already is. (It's not the setup cost that's a problem, it's the per-transaction/interaction cost, which is currently _higher_)
I've written this:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/guide-to-interacting-with-this-site-b...
and I'd love feedback on it.
Keep in mind:
* It never will be the same as mailman. There are different constraints.
* Discourse developers and designers see the web interaction as primary, and that isn't going to change.
* Dealing with email has a lot of corner cases, so there will be rough edges.
