Actually, it has been clear from the beginning that the DigiKam 
developers want to stick to the KDE infrastructure.

KDE offers both Mailman mailinglists and phpBB forums, the latter seems 
to have had its last major UI-overhaul in 2007. Maybe it's time for a 
change; why not combine the two and make sure it's setup not to disrupt 
the actual workflow, keeping existing archives and user IDs.

But I guess the way to propose such a change is at KDE itself, for 
example <https://ev.kde.org/workinggroups/sysadmin.php>.

PS: JDD pointed out some DigiKam forums:

Plus some language-specific ones.
None of these have had any considerable activity.
