Comment (by robe):

 Hmm this is 4 years old and no traction..

 I think we had this discussion on osgeo general (matrix/libera chat) or
 perhaps SAC.

 There are two approaches to this

 1. is to upgrade our lists.osgeo.org to newest 3 series.  I think that has
 some discourse like offerings.  I need to upgrade osgeo6 anyway or reset
 lists.osgeo.org in a container.  So I'll probably explore this first and
 see if the features are good enough to not need discourse

 2.  As far as discourse, I think the community was split, many enjoy the
 mailing list approach and admittedly, I'm on that side of the fence.  Some
 people said they were worried about the community being torn between
 mailing lists and discourse and having two places to check for
 conversation.  Kind of the same reason why when I proposed a PostGIS (Q&A
 on github), I was met with "Why the heck would we want to do that"

 Personally I like the mailing list model a bit better, probably cause I'm
 a dinosaur.
