I agree with this, and would suggest that email is the best primary channel for this kind of communication.
Moving to a model that requires users to remember to check a Discourse page I expect would lead to a drop-off in timely responses and the value of the list. Currently it is interesting to follow along the conversations that can spring forth on this list, and have the option to interact with them as they occur, if I only look at my inbox frequently enough.
Being suspected ADHD, I'm very prone to "login fatigue" from checking too many different services, and low volume ones are the first to fall off the list. I also find web navigation slow and fiddly, another thing that goes against my nature. Email is good, because the login is already done, and I can catch up on posts when I'm going through emai. Other communities have lost my involvement when they switched to web forums (xlxd being a ham example of this issue).
