Groups.io is interesting but also there are a few concerning things

The free level only allows up to 100 members -- how many folks are in
the current list?

All levels have restrictions on archive size:  1GB, 30GB, 1TB. Anyone
know how big, size wise, the archives are?

It appears to be possible that the archives could, with some rules and
volunteer help, be converted into a Wiki or move into some other integrated
service (would need to get the complete list of integrations to see).

Hashtags might be useful to avoid subgroups ( user, dev, bugs, help etc ).

For those that still use RSS, there is an email to RSS feed.

Monthly pricing or Year in advance ( 12 months for the price of 11 )
