A forum is probably better place than email lists if the email lists tend to cover huge amount of information. Having a forum, you can keep o bit more order in the knowledge base that is accumulating in the email list. Tags/labels would be probably even more powerful than the simple categories in a forum. They would make easier to search in the huge amount of discussions/shared information on the email list. By encouraging everybody to use in the Subject field, or inside the conversation tags/labels, it would be much easier to find information, even with search engines. <br>
<br>I would suggest to extend the [topic] labels to sthg. like<br><br>Subject: [kernel][usb][external gps] etc.<br><br>or separated by ","<br><br>Subject [kernel, usb, external gps]<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I think that you could also use nabble to have a bit of "forum<br>
experience" if you like.<br>
