well, I'm not too much of a friend of breaking mailing list rules. :-) 
There are forums and mailing lists. The latter require subscription, for 
good reason. For those not familiar with lists, I see no real resources 
at the moment to implement something as you proposed. Everyone not 
comfortable with lists should go for the forums, but that's just my 
personal opinion.

However, looking at what people demand, there's a huge variety, and we 
never ever will make everyone happy, so...
