I think another value of mailing lists is asynchronicity of conversation and the time that can go in the thought process enriching the conversation, and I think that is unmatchable by any chat protocol/client

Yes but it's also the problem. Email is, for the most part, horrible to use. Even the crappiest chat app is nicer in almost every way than email.

People are more thoughtful about email only because it's slow and relatively low volume. You see the same on stack exchange.
