This is a good point.  

Users run all over the place for help, and there are more of them, so
they reach a critical mass more easily.

Developers are creatures of habit.  A Web based forum is less likely to
get input than an easy, traditional mailing list.  Gated to a news
server, of course. :)

We can ask for easy behavior modifications ("If it sounds like good
advice, Cc: it to f-mentoring-l"), but we are challenged when we ask for
new workflows ("All developers, start helping and mentoring on
fedoraforum.org").

Paul, your idea makes _sense_, but I don't know if we are in an area of
senses. ;-)
