No active plans yet. But it has been hinted at in several places. Most notably by the FPL @mattdm himself: Designers — please help me figure out what to do with the new Discourse sidebar - Fedora Discussion (at the very bottom of his post).
I think the most pressing issue with moving from Mailman to Discourse is not to alienate old skool users, who have grown accustomed to take part in discussions from the comfort of their inbox. While getting notifications from Discourse in your inbox works great, chipping in by replying to the notification doesn’t feel natural. Markup in the received mail gets lost and actually can get in the way when replying.
So, in my opinion, this needs to be solved somehow, before we can gently push people towards moving off Mailman. Another issue might be starting a new thread by e-mail[1].

I don’t know if that is possible and if so how. But this may just be a lack of knowledge on my part. ↩︎
