FWIW, there is a docker role in wikimedia puppet and it's already used as part of the labs infrastructure. Not sure how well tested it is yet, but it's there.
In this case I see a kind of solution:
- Install Discourse container on Labs per instructions and let it
handle "http(s)://discourse.wikimedia.org/"
- Forward every mail intended to reach wikimedia-l to Discourse as well.
- Forward every Discourse comment to wikimedia-l.
Theoretically, it could work. I mean, under the condition that Discourse is capable to read properly mail headers, as well as to send a decent emails back to wikimedia-l.
If it works, everybody who prefers to read emails in the old format will be able to do that. Those who prefer Discourse web interface would be able to do that, as well.
I don't expect discourse.wikimedia.org would be a large consumer of traffic (CPU, RAM) at the beginning.

Me neither, but it's worth a try neither me and you will have to handle

That's pretty relevant point! It takes time to switch from "No!" to "Oh, I am not the admin here!".

TBH setting up a discourse instance is the easy part. I've thrown up a temporary instance at http://discourse.wmflabs.org. I'm not sure how to go about the rest though. Anyone who is interested in figuring out the rest let me know and i can get you setup for admin mode.
