On a flip side you are right.
Web forums are for people that have time to use interface that is filled with
layout gimmicks, and not exactly easy to read, but NNTP access helps a lot in
this respect.
NNTP access + good client software is actually at least equally efficient as
email, with additional benefit that you can post-moderate messages.
When you have ability to remove spam from the server and move displaced
messages to proper channel, there is no need for extra measures to prevent
spam.
I guess that mail lists are just what people are used to, not what is better.

IMO you will never get developers to participate in web forums.
