A decentralized and democratically moderated forum is not new? Can you point me to any such thing? One where everybody can post and where each post is also a forum and a mailing list?
You want a bullet point in a marketing sheet, I’d rather have things that will be directly useful and you can still sell the fact that will be implemented that bullet point and more.
Parlement is a project, a free software one, its potential is also important.

I would love you to test and use parlement right now. It is already usable, and in some ways it offers more than SlashDot and Usenet combined. Even more than kuro5hin and digg.
EL are not a feature people will use before a critical mass. To sell parlement on that non-feature will bring a risk of discontentment.
