The Jabber/XMPP community uses a bridge from forums to mailing lists  
- it actually serves mostly as a reader for the lists, very few  
people actually post to the lists from the forums, although I imagine  
quite a few people join the mailing lists as a result.

I can certainly get hold of the people that run that for technical  
information, if people care.
