On Org ML, we have recently discussed an idea to have Discourse as the means for users to interact with the mailing list via web UI: https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87edvxnnqw.fsf@localhost/
Note that we weren't discussing any move away from mailing lists such as emacs-devel, help-emacs, etc. Only changing the source of bug-gnu-emacs and emacs-diffs.
Changing everything at once would be much too difficult. And gitlab doesn't have anything corresponding to github's "Discussions" anyway.
Discourse has free licence, can be self-hosted, and has mailing list integration.
While it is a compelling option, I think it's going to be a very hard sell for this project.
In any case, I'd recommend postponing discussing that until after the force/bugtracker change happens. That alone might be difficult enough.
