I'm in much the same boat as Mirko -- the mailing list fits my existing workflow.

Discourse, to my mind, fills a niche between IRC and a mailing list. I wouldn't want to try to replace either of those with Discourse, but I think that it might be helpful for certain kinds of discussion like RFCs or Wiki development where we need better threading than is available on IRC, but a more robust back-and-forth than we get on the mailing list. If we could embed discourse on the wiki, I think that could be a win.

I know Discourse and think it is a nice tool. However I don't think
it is a good replacement for our mailing lists in general. I am
subscribed to a lot of list (not only several Koha lists), I move
and filter a lot to keep things organized. I can read it on
different plattforms and with very little bandwidth overhead.

I don't have time to keep track of everything in Discourse, and the
email notification options are not the same as a mailing list. I
think there is an option to use it via email, but I suspect it comes
with a lot of clutter.

I don't know if it could be useful for dev talk explicitly,
replacing/bundling threads on BZ and the dev list. It may be helpful
to organize discussions in that case.
