Well, I could not image we'd move away from mailing lists (for patches,
issues)...  For QA forum we have the help-guix list, it has an
unofficial public-inbox instance at https://yhetil.org/guix-user/ ,
which show replies in one page, and can be clicked to reply by email...
Maybe we can write a more polished web interface for public-inbox.


Also today I learned there exist fediverse reddit like sites using
lemmy/kbin, where you can get a modern forum experience. eg:
https://kbin.social/m/guix@lemmy.ml (not much people there though...)


If we can bridge mailing lists with those fediverse sites, that will be
cool!  🤔
