I too primarily use the web forum to follow this newsgroup and 
find the widespread use of mailing lists to this day baffling.  I 
understand that there are those like Walter or H.S. Teoh who have 
a long-standing workflow with newsgroup readers and email 
clients, so it's great that we can each access the discussion in 
the form that suits us best.  However, I'm not a fan of disqus.

You need to be more specific about what you want that the current 
web forum, DFeed, doesn't provide.  It is open source and you can 
contribute to it here:
