I've just recently started using mailing lists, so replying is still a bit awkward to me. (Probably be easier if we'd use forums.)
Forums are a mixed bag. Some love them, some hate them.
I previously ran a forum for LedgerSMB. It had some usage, but people mostly preferred the mailing lists.
I was also running an add-on by the forum author that allowed posting incoming emails to boards. I never setup an outgoing to the mailing list. I wanted to. No time.
However, reading and searching emails from a mailing list in a forum is *nice*. Really nice. You can see the entire thread at once.
If any mailing list I'm part of wants to do a read-only posting of email only messages like that, I would put up a forum for that only, for free.
I would only make something like that public if the mailing list owners wanted it done.
As far as 2FA over a phone, I hate it. When traveling, my phone only works in USA, Canada and Mexico. If I were in Guatemala, I'd have no access to my DNS server company. Ugh!
