Csepp suggested Sourcehut earlier which has the desired UI/UX,
e.g.
https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3C20230416195341.0b20bda8a213c8cb868d711f%40posteo.net%3E
The best thing about email (list) is interopability,
which means not only we can run Sourcehut lists along side Mailman
as an alternative frontend (by simply forwarding)
or smoothly transition to it, but also every subscriber
also have a replica to index as one wishes.
While forum implementations usually do support email notification,
they are second-class presentation missing certain metadata
such as threading information (In-Reply-To).
