All good questions. I've been using IRC+email for 25+ years now and from 
what I can see, IRC has been replaced by slack/discord etc, and email has 
been replaced by Reddit or Github Issues discussions etc. I was on a 
project where the mailing list was shut down and all further discussions 
were pushed to github instead.

I personally think the "web forum" format is inferior but that might be a 
way to reach out as well...
