I will just make the point that, when you make this switch, you will be missing people as well. Projects that switch to forum systems, to a great extent, go dark for people who aren't immersed in them all the time. Keeping up with fedora-devel takes very little of my time; keeping up with Discourse instances is a much slower affair.
What could we do to make that easier for you?
A decent NNTP feed (or set of feeds) would be wonderful :)
Otherwise, I don't know. Invent a decent federated system that keeps the good parts of email while addressing the many bad parts?
I guess I should give the Discourse email mode another try. It was painful last time, but it's been a little while and may have improved. But even if it's perfect, dealing with a lot of accounts on project-specific walled gardens is always going to increase the pain level. Perhaps I'm just not made for the world we have built...
Thanks,
