I don't think the problem is the mailing list style of discussion. Looks like it works fine, even for big projects like the linux kernel. What I find frustrating with mailing list is the archive: * sometimes there is no archives * sometimes the archive is unsearchable, only browsable * for archives with search capability, sometimes the search results are not accurate enough If end users can find answers through mailing list archive, they needn't post nor subscribe.
