it's surprising that there is still an issue with mailing list and forum split. that's am issue we already had 30 years ago. and i thought by now it's a solved problem. google groups solved it for example. is there no FOSS platform out there that does it too?

the platform i am working on could do it too, but i thought it's not worth the effort because there should be enough alternatives. am i wrong? what stops fedora from using a platform that integrates email and forums?

I don't have experience with the Fedora version specifically, but forum/email bridges tend to run into problems with differing expectations of the medium. This is even more true if it's not clear from the beginning that other users are experiencing the same conversation completely differently. For a viscerally annoying example, imagine someone posting “bump” to a mailing list.
