[Oisf-users] OISF-Users Discussion/Forum Platform

Are there any efforts to consider alternative discussion/forum platforms
for the OISF-users mailing list?

Mailman is certainly a great platform (and works fine for most needs), but
I'm finding some limitations when it comes to easily viewing status on
discussion threads and the lack of categorization makes it difficult to
find relevant posts in the archive (success with using the mailing list
becomes a matter of knowing the correct search terms to use).

I've found the new Cuckoo Community site (which uses Discourse for forum
platform) to be quite easy to navigate, and may help with ensuring
visibility across the numerous discussion threads that is seen in this very
active mailing list.  If you're not familiar with Cuckoo Community,
following is a link to their site that may provide a helpful example of
possible gains with using a platform such as Discourse:

https://community.cuckoosandbox.org

If Discourse seems interesting, following is a link for more info:

https://www.discourse.org

There are many other platforms for discussion/forums; merely used Cuckoo
Community/Discourse as an example (and by no means a suggestion as the only
option).

Curious what are the thoughts from the OISF-users community and maintainers
on considering alternatives to Mailman?
