[swift-evolution] Mailman?

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

Another point that hasn't come up so far: inclusivity.

Quoting the Code of Conduct section from https://swift.org/community/:

A diverse and friendly community will have more great ideas, more unique
> perspectives, and produce more great code. We will work diligently to make
> the Swift community welcoming to everyone.



I think making the discussion groups more easily accessible, and
indexable/searchable, would do a great deal towards this goal. We should
strive to include people who don't live in their email clients, and even
people who want to contribute anonymously.

(Clearly, there are enough people who *do* want to use email that it's
important to make sure any proposed solution has good support for email
notifications.)
