What does the “Mailing List mode” do? How does it affect my notifications? The only information given to me in the UI is: This setting overrides the activity summary. Muted topics and categories are not included in these emails.

Wow, that sounds awesome. It depends on well it works in practice, of course, but if it can really be usable as a mailing list system as well as a commenting system, that’s pretty fantastic.
