The post talks about replacing the Linux kernel's use of email (so, e.g. the linux-kernel mailing list) with this new solution. linux-kernel has hundreds of thousands of subscribers and thousands of posters, all of whom are being given (according to this post) a full and complete copy of everything non-code related to its development. I don't think it would work, at least while maintaining the same "anyone can post to the list" guarantees we have today. And I think it's important to say that it wouldn't work, so that people don't think the job of decentralizing open source communities has a substrate solution in-hand in SSB.
