It would be a *great idea* if we want to retire mailing lists to have
information about where that mailing list is now in Discourse.

There is no 1:1 mapping between mailing lists and Discourse, because Discourse is not a mailing list server.

Generally, you'll use tags, but those tags may not exist yet. It's up to the people maintaining the DOAP and documentation pages to ask for a tag, if it doesn't exist.

Ciao,
