Basically, this depends on requirements for thethis. I really doubt that thethis will consist of 40-page printout of source. It would have to discuss approaches, problems, solutions and so on, and that's what would be interesting in such a thethis. And then email on this list in not worse that a published article -- a thethis always refers or based on a number of articles and can use emails in the same way.
Exactly.. A very important part of this thesis will be the discussion around the chosen design. Wether the different approaches we discuss are suggested by someone on a mailing list, in an article, or simply thought up by us, is not really that important, as long as we don't take credit for something someone else has done (Wether that is code, design ideas, or something else).
