To cut to the chase:

Issac had a bad experience with read/write forums. That was with
gmane.org, which is really the correct way to do what you want. Perhaps
he'll wake up someday and the trauma will have faded, and he'll think
"hmm, maybe I'll try to love NNTP <-> mail gateways again".

Perhaps not.

Until then, we'll just have to argue about what colour the bikeshed
should be.
