I'm also quite new to Discourse but For what I can see with the discourse
instance of OpenStreetMap where the Italian OSM community created a
category for Italian discussion there are only pros to have Discourse
instead mailman since:
- people used to use mailing list can continue to answer via email
- people used to write via forum con use this way
- archive is searchable

For my little usage I don't see any cons to move from mailman to Discourse,
however as Jody said every community can choose their own tool to
communicate
