I completely agree for all the reasons you've stated that the mailing list is the best place for these discussions to happen.
What I've heard of mailman, it sounds like it will make discussion on the mailing list more discoverable and easier to contribute to, which I think is a step in the right direction.

The (public) developer mailing list is the best place for development-related questions and that's the place where the other discussion should have been directed to.
Maybe you should start copying the information you collected to a public channel where it's accessible by the community instead of requiring potential contributors to sign up just to follow the previous discussion? This way there's even a chance people could work together! As a matter of fact a colleague of mine was recently trying to build for mac, too, but hit some roadblocks - who knows if some of them could have been avoided or collectively solved if we knew about that discussion...).
I'm fine if we evaluate GitLab for some project-wide discussion in future, but you should be aware, that any discussion we have in some subgroups of the GitLab project might be just as hard to discover for the wider community (how is anybody supposed to know which sub-project contains the relevant info?). At least it's public, though...
Right now the officially documented communication channels are the mailing lists (and IRC for chat) - I'd prefer if we could stick to them for discussions that could be relevant to the wider community until we find a better solution (although I've yet to see the discussion on why we even want to drop our mailing list discussions while Ian is actively working on providing us with a future proof mailman setup [1]).

Hi Rodney, If you want to register at: https://teams.freecreatives.org and find the public channel "Vectors - macOS" you'll see what has happened thus far and where things have stalled. We need to find a better home for this discussion in the official GitLab project, but for the time being that's the best place to get started. Thanks for getting involved!
