Ditto.
I am in the same boat, FWIW ...
I actually quite like Discourse - for a forum software - from experience
related to various freetime activities.
However, Discourse replacing mailing lists WILL be the end of habitually
skimming through everything that goes on devel (and a whole bunch of
other lists) to spot issues that might be of my concern. The result will
be in me being considerably less aware of what goes around in Fedora,
rpm related or not.
