It should also be noted that Subversion hasn't been using Tigris
infrastructure for mailing lists for the better part of a year.
Orthogonal to this discussion, perhaps, but the factual nit picker in
me feels compelled to point this out. :)

I prefer mailing lists. Threading in most forum software ranges from
abysmal to non-existent :(

I was going to point this out too... but decided it didn't add to the discussion. While I do agree that forums are somewhat more user friendly... Aren't there also several Web properties that let you participate in the mail list via your browser that make it very much like a forum would appear?
