Exactly what platform did you have in mind?
Discourse[1] for example. GTK developers already testing it[2] as mailing lists replacement.

To each their own, of course, but there was a long discussion of discourse here a while ago. I tried it out, but it was like a bad version of a mailing list. It sent me a mail informing me that there were messages to read. Then I had to go there and read the messages on the web, using their interface.
I have used Discourse and yes it does behave pretty much like a webforum from 90s.
So much better than just getting the message directly into my chosen mail client! (/sarcasm) It probably works well for those who are addicted to the web, and check their phone every few minutes; it fits with their work style, plus they get affirmation. But I don't fit that template, so I wasn't enamored.
If forced to, I could probably use it, but I prefer the push model to the pull model. That is, it isn't an improvement for me, it doesn't buy me anything I want.
Exactly this. While swanky it really does nothing new but takes away accessibility since there will be a gazillion email notifications which in and of themselves are useless. With a mailing list I can just reply directly instead of having to switch to a different interface.
This just adds a step and forces me to use a particular client.
I realized now that this mail sounds really negative. To add nuance: great suggestion and I'm all for changing things if the new things solves the problem better than the old things. Discourse however, doesn't seem to do that.
