So to rephrase this question, if the project finds a way to archive the discussions to ASF-controlled infra (e.g., to a dedicated mailinglist), than they could keep using the board?

Yes, archival is the question. One approach we took with OpenOffice was to move 
the phpBB for the forums onto PMC managed VMs using Apache Infra provided MySQL.

Hi,

I recently received a question from a project that is considering to
apply to the incubator and I did not know the answer, so I would like to
ask for your input on that.

The project has a very active web-based discussion board, similar to
projects like Apache MXNet on https://discuss.mxnet.io/ or Rust on
https://users.rust-lang.org/. However, Apache projects traditionally
prefer a user mailing list to web-based discussion boards in my experience.

The question is now whether the project would have to migrate the
discussion board to the user mailing list during incubation or whether
they could keep it. Do we have an official stance on that?

Best,
Sebastian

PS: As a side note, I'd like to mention that the project will have a
dev@ and private@ mailinglist as usual, this question is only about the
interactions with users.
