Typically:
Users prefer to ask questions and browser on a forum, look through old answers, etc.
Developers tend to work on mailing lists, asking a developer to go looking for questions
to answer in a forum won't work.
Forum sounds great only if we can get it bridged to a mailing list
indeed.
I know i wouldn't be reviewing a forum, or able to reply to it if it
requires online access, and not consumable via the mail client.
so +1 to a forum, iff the mailing list remains viable.
