>From an overall ASF perspective, I'd be more likely to go with the one that
has less overhead. Nabble is already there, doing the forum thing, and
completely managed outside of the ASF. Nobody at the ASF has to do anything
but add new mailing lists to it periodically.

My understanding (which could be completely wrong ;) is that Jyve would nee=
d
to be installed and managed at the ASF to provide the same kind of
functionality. That means it has infrastructure requirements - hardware,
software and especially people to maintain it. That being the case, I'd wan=
t
to see a compelling case for Jyve over Nabble, and names of people willing
to do the work.
