How about Discourse (https://www.discourse.org/) for this mailing list

Hi Jonas,

thanks for the suggestion.

Critical infrastructure (repository, dev mailing list) of Apache projects must be hosted on Apache infrastructure.

For example, Github is just mirroring the ASF git repositories.

We integrated the mailing lists with Nabble (user [1], dev [2]) and there is also an Apache project PonyMail [3].

AFAIK, it would be possible to host the user mailing list somewhere else (there is also a StackOverflow tag for Flink).

However, I see the risk of splitting the community.
The chances that questions can be answered would drop if there are too many places to ask questions.

Best, Fabian

Instead of Nabble I will use PonyMail now :) Thanks. Didn't know it existed.

I might want to add that although these two are available, the content of the submissions is still often unreadable and not properly formatted. At least for me this is annoying to read. Additionally we have Stackoverflow which has a nice UI for editing but not really good for discussions.
