I'm starting a new thread regarding this topic.

we can add some newer open source software tools to ensure smoother

I am reluctant to endorse adoption of new methods or tools: they tend to
become the problem they are supposed to prevent, drawing resources and
time away from more pressing issues.
This mailing list is stable, well-known, and easy to use. A new paradigm
would require that each subscriber climb what might be a steep
learning-curve, and once they do that, some will feel compelled to
demonstrate their command of the new methods and/or software by adding
to the amount of smoke surrounding our electronic campfire, without also
adding enough light to make the changes worthwhile.
Could communication be improved? Of course. Will having a new way to
communicate automagically cause that to happen? I don't feel that it will.
YMMV. HTH.
