If you really want to limit it to people subscribed to the list, forget the

Enthusiastic second, as this is a better and cleaner idea, preferable
over the overly-complex alternatives proposed.   (The same could be done
to other lists as well.)  It isn't at all difficult to facilitate this
kind of discussion just by using the features that are already there.

(And if there's a need for a feature which doesn't yet exist?  The
Mailman community has shown itself quite responsive to the needs
and suggestions of users, doubly so when those are accompanied by
working code.)

I find web-based forums idiosyncratic, difficult-to-use, and resistant
to offline reading, archiving and searching.  Mail is still, by a huge
margin, the very best means of conducting these conversations.
