Oh no, not Discourse :( I never liked Discourse. I guess mainly for the UI and UX/navigation.
Still likely an improvement for approachability. For a mailing list you essentially need pre-knowledge and a client to use reasonably well. A [Discourse] forum may need an account, but is hosted and straight-forward.
Given that it’s already established I see why the question of alternative forms and platforms wouldn’t even come up.

Discourse is also working on a Fediverse integration. So at some point you might not even need extra forum accounts.
