Personally, I prefer keeping the discussion as an
email list.
(Is it really that hard to upgrade to a newer version
of Mailman?)

Why?

It's not that I don't like GUIs, but I do almost all
of my work using
Emacs/Gnus.  Unless Google Groups provides an NNTP
feed, I'll have to
use a separate graphical browser (or maybe 'w3m' from
within Emacs) to
view/participate in the exchanges.
