If your goal is to make sure that the average person can get answers to his or her questions about Wine, that's a noble enterprise. I would prefer a solution that doesn't have the reliability and usability problems of the current crop of web forums. I would also prefer an evidence-based approach to demonstrating the problem(s) with the current situation. "Some people prefer web forums" is not sufficient evidence.
We could have a Support/Questions section on winehq.org where a user can enter a question or comment, as they would on wine-users had they the time or knowledege of the ML, along with his/her email address. The question would be forwarded to wine-users, and any replies would also reply to the given email address. Sound reasonable?
