I like this idea a lot :-)
After some more thought, I realized that this really needs to be a three-way gateway betrween a mailing list, a 'blog, and a newsgroup. The 'blog is obviously the most different from the other two, as 'blogs usually excersize editorial control over the root items, but none (or little) over the ensuing discussion. This is markedly different from both mailing lists and newsgroups, where moderation is on all of the postings. Assuming that gets accomplished, this should take care of everyones 'discussion' needs, after which the trick is promoting certain things to permanent collaborative artefacts, like wikis.
