Felix,

tagging means adding a tag to a specific thread that is created to make
sure it can easily be filtered out and most importantly it can easily be
configured as a watcher (i.e the process that allows you to receive an
email when a new email / response has been added to a thread). Our
Discourse instance already has a tag called "mc", which can be used to tag
a specific thread at creation time (or later on in the process) to make
sure it gets properly filtered for contributors that are only interested in
mc conversations. Each Discourse category comes with an email endpoint,
let's say you want to create a new thread under the Applications category,
you can send an email to the [email protected] email and it
gets automatically posted to Discourse, like you do today with Mailman. In
the background we can configure an automatic tag, that is whenever the
Midnight Commander or MC word is mentioned (similar to what happens today
with Mailman list name tag on subjects) the "mc" tag is automatically added
to your thread, that eases consumption by your contributors which have
watchers defined for the "mc" tag.

Other interesting information:

Receiving notifications about Evolution related threads in Discourse:
   1. Go to Notifications Tags
      at https://discourse.gnome.org/my/preferences/tags
   2. Add "evolution" under "Watched" or "Tracked" (depends on how
      many notifications you want to get)

Let me know if you need further help, I'll be more than happy to help your
transition. Thanks!
