J'ai posé la question sur le groupe de discussion de Gmane.
On va bien voir.
Et voici une réponse reçue ce jour (par de l'admin de gmane)

> SPIP lists might move to discourse.org
It is a shame people should abandon so simple, stable, and
undemanding media as the mailing list in favour of the heav-
ier, more complicted, and partially web-based Disourse, al-
ready with the worst elements of social networks, such as a
ranking system.

I don't see how it is possible. Although Discourse is adver-
tised as able to work as a mailing-list system, it fails in
this function in several ways:
1. It requres the web to set up and start using, whereas
e-mail predates the web. I can access e-mail from a
much older PC than I need to access Discourse.
2. Its web frontend fails to display hard-wrapped plain
text messages correctly, in a monospace font.
3. It is anachronistic in supporting several markup lan-
guages, sush as phpBB and Markdown, all of which were
created after the invention of e-mail.
4. Its treatment of Markdown is crippled due to literal
interpretation of line endings, which is against the
Markdown philosophy and incompatible withh hard-
wrapped plain text.
On the bright side, Disrourse is free software, amenable to
improvement and integration with classic e-mail.
