An email list for this is a *horrible* idea. You're proposing that something that could receive hundreds and hundreds of emails a day
Well, that remains to be seen. In any case, as I replied earlier, both talk page and e-mail list are options, and we could switch between them, or offer both, as necessary.
Email is great as an input method because - as pointed out - it's less scary. The email should then be immediately rerouted back onto the wiki, because the wiki is The Right Place to have article-specific discussions. Contact information can be trimmed out if necessary, but I don't see that you can both respect people's reputation and hide their private information at the same time.
