I think, the efficiency of mailing-list or forum depends on the tools you use.
For me, a mailing-list is much more efficient, because I can use my favorite
tools (editor, MUA, mail-filter, search-tools, spell-checker, etc.). For a
forum, I would depend on the web-browser (less efficient for me).
The other question is:
"Forum _and_ mailing-list" or "forum _instead_ of mailing-list"?
In the first case, you could divide users and developers perhaps
into 2 groups, only some of them would monitor both, list _and_ forum.
The second case is probably not an option.

I don't know, if this forum still exists.
