Theory and practice of community interaction elsewhere in OSM is absolutely a valid and interesting topic, but the lists belong to pretty much the same period in OSM history as IRC and Potlatch, and I say that as someone who still uses both. :)

Mhh, the tagging proposal workflow still involves tagging@ as a requirement. And many of the tagging@ members flamed against a proposed move over to Discourse . This change would had allowed me to participate in tagging discussions again :)

Others are noticeably quieter (talk@, talk-fr@, osmf-talk@). A few local communities still prefer mailing lists but they're fewer in number every year. Generally, the vital new stuff in OSM doesn't happen on mailing lists.
