I personally don't have a need for forum type of solution, and I
actually prefer mailing lists so I can have all updates from all
different projects at one inbox.

Besides the emails bounding issue, the maintenance burden would be the
same with forum software, right? Also, regarding this specific case of
mailman being outdated, would it be possible to just enable
unattended-upgrades (if debian based server) with automatic reboot to
solve this?

About email moderation, I have not noticed getting any spam through this
mailing list. If the email is not accepted won't it bounce so if someone
wants to send something (like a big file) they can contact via irc or
other channels to say there is a problem.
