Agreed. The only problem with the gmane.org news is that it doesn't
seem to propagate postings to it backwards to the list, only from the list
to the newsgroup.
Oh?

Looks like a duck, walks like a duck.... If everyone here posted to/read from the "newsgroup", then it wouldn't matter if anyone actually read the list. As far as I can tell, you don't have to be subscribed to the list to post there.OTOH, if we all just stopped using the list and just
used the newsgroup....
Gmane doesn't have a seperate "newsgroup", it just mirrors list traffic.
Perhaps my real point is: mailing lists are fine for a relatively small number of people with reasonably low volume. I think the number/volume we have here is more than enough to justify a newsgroup. I know I've been on a lot of newsgroups that didn't have anywhere near this kind of traffic....
