One can think of archiving the list via Nabble.

http://www.nabble.com/MailingListArchive.html

It has been done e.g. on the SuperCollider mailing list (and many others).
It has proven helpful.

Can't there be a lilypond forum instead of a lilypond mailinglist? 

No, this would not be helpful.

Mailinglists are: somewhat dated, far from structured, and posts tend to become bloated when for instance ppl start quoting quotes of quotes of quotes of quotes, or simply quote a whole post and add one extra line to it, etc.

That's why we discourage such behavior.  Besides, massive quoting is a huge problem on forums; much less so on mailists.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
