a community split offer a fake "let people decide" :
- if someone want to make a proposal, the notification must be send
to both channel
- if a mailing list user want to reply to a message on the forum,
he must subscribe/use the forum
- if a forum user want to reply to a message on the mailing list,
he must subscribe/use the mailing list

the only choice you have is to ignore the other part of the community.

to offer a real choice of interface, the only solution is to make the 
forum mature, solve the exposed problems and then merge both interfaces 
in one "place to be", then only a user of the forum will be able to 
answer a user of the mailing list and conversely.

the talk-fr experience shows that the division has not increased the 
volume of messages (despite some dual-posted message which artificially 
increases the totals, on the contrary, some people have migrated to the 
forum and are talking to each other, a few others are still on the list 
and are talking to each other, a tiny fraction has freed up the extra 
time needed to manage an extra channel.
