Regarding the mailling list, many projects (among GNOME) have or will
adopt https://www.discourse.org/. It has a per-user mailling list mode
but it can not bridge mailman. My guess is that a discourse instance
only for GNU Guile and Guix would be overkill, so maybe GNU might
consider using that software?
