And then there comes Wiki. Just use wiki for discussion. There's even a usage 
pattern for Wacko called "Discussion".

A discussion wiki with one or two volunteers to clean up all the mess and 
organize the discussion for the first time.

The value of mailing list or bugzilla is - it records everything that was said 
during discussion. You obviously cannot record everything in the wiki 
(otherwise you could use the ML with less hassle), so its someone's duty to 
summarize and clean up the discussion pages. The discussion summary can be 
published on the dot to attract more attention to this facility.

Roey on #kde-devel: when I hear best of breed I tune out--it's too much a
buzzword. What I carry between my legs is best of breed. And like KDE, just
because it's less visible doesn't mean it gets less usage.
