I've been interested in PyTorch's use of discouse recently.  https://discuss.pytorch.org/  No strong thoughts on this though.  I'm not sure that there is a good e-mail alternative today, but it would be good to improve the longevity of asynchronous group conversations.

Discourse is interesting. It seems to be used (at least in PyTorch's
case) as more of a modern message board for users than a place for
long-form discussions between project developers.

IMHO having a cross-project developer mailing list is probably overdue
-- I think we can do a better job the next couple of years
coordinating (colluding?) with each other. A lot of coordination does
of course in private, project-level, or other ad-hoc basis. It would
help to be able to discuss ecosystem-level problems and possible
solutions.
