Please also take into consideration the other side of this: switching to a web-based discussions makes participation via email all but impractical. People tend to answer short answers without quoting the context, assuming that all the context is visible in the web form anyway, and that makes email messages undecipherable. I follow one such repository, which uses GitHub, for more than a year, and it is very frustrating. So if good support for email is not a requirement, we need to consider the consequences of basically abandoning email entirely.
