I sincerely hope not. Mailing lists and newsgroups have a far higher barrier to entry, IMO. I don’t think it would be any more conducive to inclusivity in the long run. They’re also just technologically inferior; for example, I’ve seen on mailing list archives that people will use Markdown in their messages, but the archive site doesn’t render it.
