Personally, since this list is rather low-volume, I like the email list. This way, when someone comes up with a legitimate issue, I see it right away and can see whether it affects me.

As for something web-based, on the whole I think something like phpBB2 would be better than an NNTP server. First for the reason you mention -- some people don't have NNTP at work -- and second because all of the posts are automatically archived and searchable.
