The D language folks have a great system at
https://forum.dlang.org
The web interface is exactly the same as the mailing lists,
which are exactly the same as the newsgroups, which also
produces an ATOM/RSS feed and an IRC bot. Any access reads and,
if possible, posts to the same streams of messages.
And, yes, it's open source - AGPL 3.0.
It does depend on having a working NNTP server behind the
scenes, but the good news there is that the one they test
against is INN, which is packaged in Debian.
