rather than here in a mailing list?
As the topics are rather varied, a web based forum is a more
appropriate format than do this mailing list.

'mailing list integration' may after all not be necessary, i.e. the
forum and this mailing list can go separate ways.

If you just want a forum-style interface, and you don't care whether
it's this community, you might check out the Reddit community at
https://www.reddit.com/r/openscad/.  They seem to the most active, other
than this one.  There's also a couple of Facebook groups.

Or if you want to set up and administer forum software somewhere, go for
it.  I don't know how it would be decided whether or not to point
forum.openscad.org at your new forum.

But my impression is that most of the people who want a forum want a
forum with these people on it.
