At least in the case of opensuse you can read (and write) the forums using 
nntp, which means you can
read them using plain text clients (tin) or gui (thunderbird, claws, pan, 
knode...). You can even
read/write offline without internet.

I've recently joined the forums that way, and it is interesting. The ratio of 
novices is higher,
which reflects on the language, manners, questions asked/answered, as many have 
mentioned here. If
there are fewer correct answers, well, it means that more experienced users 
should think of going
there and help ;-) . There are also a good number of very helpful people there.

The only problem I still have is carrying the list of already read messages 
from one computer to
another (nntp).


As for integration of forums and mail lists, it is technically possible. 
Currently, we have nntp <->
web gateways, and out there there are nntp <-> mail gateways.
