so I think the possible options are:
Option 1: move to EL-8 mailman2 til next June.. then punt to 2,3,4 Option 2: volunteer and do the work to make mailman3 work (this needs packaging, webwork, database work, importing of old archives, resubscribing n people, etc). Option 2b: volunteer and use a different supportable mailing list software (this needs...) Option 3: discontinue email lists and have Fedora discourse run threads.

Not necessarily advocating, but I'm going to add:
Option 3b: discontinue email lists and have a dedicated CentOS Discourse.
<personal opinion> I don't like Discourse, it's not a mailing-list and you can't read threads from a mail client, which lot of people, including me, are used to ... </personal opinion>
If discontinuing the email lists is a CentOS board choice, maybe it's better to not reinvent the wheel and "merge" it with Fedora instance (with sub-categories, threads, $whatever) ? That way, Fedora folks managing one instance don't have to manage another one ?
Just me two cents :-)
Fedora's Discourse is run by Civilized Discourse Construction Kit (the developers of Discourse), not Fedora.
Getting a CentOS Discourse instance would not add any load for anyone, since nobody in Fedora/CentOS would be "maintaining" it as CDCK would be contracted to run it too.
I'd rather keep mailing lists for development myself. For that, I would suggest moving them to Fedora's instance and leveraging the multi-domain feature so that lists.centos.org goes to Fedora's instance.
