Does anyone know of any other similar history discussion mailing lists /
newsgroups to discuss things like Mainframes or (Open)VMS?
I have some questions as I try to broaden my horizons, but I don't think
they fit in the TUHS context.

Both are good criteria for http://www.classiccmp.org/cctalk.html although
it gets a lot of random chatter. I find SNR goes down quickly
where personal computers are included in lists/forums although that may be
my own interests reflecting.

Two I quite like are the Geeks and Rescue lists:
http://www.sunhelp.org/mailman/listinfo/rescue
http://www.sunhelp.org/mailman/listinfo/geeks
Some folks there have mainframes, Crays, etc.
There's also Info-VAX, the comp.os.vms to email gateway:

Not a mailing list, but have you considered the Retrocomputing Stack
Exchange?
https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/
Many of the questions there currently relate primarily to personal
computers and consoles, but I see no reason why questions about e.g.
historical mainframes would not be welcome.

I brought that up during the proposal stage, and I gather the response
was positive:

Now there seems to be a handful of questions about minis and mainframes.
And, on topic!, Unix.
