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.

It's not so much the tools used as it is those who use (or abuse) them.

Yes it is, and Brian does a fine job maintaining the functionality of
the list as well.

Just like the argument of do guns kill or is it a human that must pull
the trigger that kills, the tools used in methods of communications by
themselves do nothing. It's up to the humans involved to communicate in
a productive, non-harmful manner. We can only try to do our best in
relaying the thoughts we have into text on the list while trying to
offer helping hands to those who need it. Too often in today's world
especially in regards to unsocial medias do humans blame the software
for their actions.
