I'd be happy to help out in this area too.

I'm not 100% sure we've got a big enough user base to pull it off,
but, as ubuntuforums has proven, *many* users feel much more
comfortable in forums than in mailing lists.

As John said, email comes to you, which, at the current activity of
this list, is very overwhelming.


All in all I like the idea of bazaar specific forums, as it will lower
the barrier for new users in some aspects.
