I think this could be a problem, because when you register to a forum you 
expect your email to be kept private (only known by the admins and 
moderators of the forum), but with this gateway, their messages would be 
posted to the MLs with their email and they could get the surprise to have 
people responding to them directly on their email which they thought was 
still private.

Perhaps there should be a setting in the (future) official forum that users 
would have to check explicitly, stating that they accept to have their 
answers posted to the MLs with their email, and if they don't check that 
option they would not be able to post the forums linked to the MLs (because 
it would be a pain to have answers only on one side).
