Maniphest
application in Phabricator (<a href="http://reviews.llvm.org" target="_blank">reviews.llvm.org</a>) we could use the inbuilt discussion aspect that we are used to in the code reviews to talk continuously on individual topics which isn't necessarily associated with a piece of code, and you can then use the {D12345} syntax to cross-reference reviews or {T12345} to cross-reference other discussions, and still keeping llvm-commit or cfe-commits as a subscribed user so those discussions also goto the mailing lists, the use of tags would let those questions be seen easily by subscribed members of the projects, meaning your question doesn't disappear into a black hole.<div><br></div><div>You can use the rich markup to show images and or format code snippets to describe designs.

I wasn’t aware of Nabble. This is certainly an improvement over the usual mail client apps. However It seems that replies through the Nabble system go to <a href="mailto:llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu" target="_blank">llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu</a> list instead of <a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a> and a registration to the former is required. Is this actually equivalent in practice? I am writing this on my regular email client in the usual way just in case. Please can you clarify this for me?.
