and I want a pony ;-)

reply-to munging comes up every once a a while, but there are various good reasons for not doing it (google "reply to considered harmful" if you're curious).

Since MacPorts is an all volunteer project, there's nothing stopping anyone from creating a web forum and having discussions there.

It's just a matter of having enough interested people so that there's a group willing to answer questions/give advice/whatever.

I personally probably won't participate in a web forum, just like I don't participate in the IRC channel - but that doesn't mean that places outside of the mailing list(s) aren't useful places to go...
