Newsportal is a php frontend to newsgroups - takes a few mins to set up.
Mailman is capable of gating a mailing list to a newsgroup (which can
then be read forum style using Newsportal). That way everyone gets their
chosen interface.
FWIW I'd hate to see any of the discussion going forum only - the
convenience of having the content delivered to you to be read in the
application of your choice should not be underestimated.
Ordinarily newsportal could be found here:
http://florian-amrhein.de/newsportal but they appear to be having db
problems at the moment....
