[swift-evolution] Mailman?

[Zach Drayer]

sorry for bumping this, but, it taking me a few days to get this far in my
inbox made me think it's worth adding my voice in to the mix, and say that
I'd like something forum-y as well.

re: following l-by-email: I haven't done a significant amount of research
on this, but my general suspicion is that most forums that scale to large
amounts of people wind up having an option to send email notifications
about new posts (and the ability to reply to the email to post).
