I am considering establishing a Discourse installation myself and offering it to host Wikimedia-l or its successor
There are already two experimental Discourse instances: https://discourse.wmflabs.org/ for trialing Discourse as a mailing list alternative (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Discourse ) https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/ for trialing it as a developer support channel (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discourse ) The latter has more movement these days (it's seen as a more pressing problem to solve, also it's a semi-official WMF project) but in any case the technology side of introducing Discourse is well covered; it's the social side (finding a small or new mailing list, convince them to move to Discourse, collect feedback) that needs work.
