I love Discourse! It comes with a "Mailing list mode", which users can
enable individually. Thereby, it can be used as a forum or a mailing
list, depending on what a user prefers.

Questions like this have come up before, and the main argument against a
separate resource is that information about pandoc would be spread
across more parts of the web. We already have GitHub, the mailing list,
StackOverflow, and the RStudio community forum.

I'm not sure how easy or difficult it would be to move all googlegroups
contents into a fresh discourse instance, but if that's an option, then
I'd be in full favor moving.
