LLVM is moving mailing lists to Discourse! I'm a big fan of Discourse's ability to summarise threads and richer formatting options.

Watching Hytale vs Minecraft discourse reminds me of how games feel different when they're new. Single player games have an online discussion that occurs shortly after release. Multiplayer games rapidly develop a meta. I tried UT99 years after release and it wasn't as much fun.

The Stack Overflow/Discourse model is that you get more privileges as you're more active in a project. Could we do the same with git repos? Newbies get more guidance and guard rails, seasoned contributors get automatic merge powers if CI passes?
