That was also my first thought. ;-)
More seriously: I just don't get what's wrong with mailing lists.
+1 Especially I like that e-mails can be written while being off-line and sent later.

That said, if there's real demand for some web-based clicky interface I'd like to point out Hyperkitty from Fedora: http://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/
