On a famous french mailing list, FRnOG, we have solved the problem by
separating the list into several, like categories on a forum. Users
can subscribe to only a few "sub-list", or to a "meta-list" that
regroups all of the sublists.

Now, every user is free to configure his email client to have all the
threads in the same folder, or to have one folder by "category".

I think they use Mailman, but Sympa also allows to do this.

Personally, I can't even think of following a project on a forum.  And
it would make me very sad, because I really love this mailing list.
