Looking good - thanks. We just made the list subscribers-only, because
it had become a target for spam mail, and we (moderators) were sick of
rejecting 15+ messages a day.
Please be aware of the fact the infrastructure team of ASF is currently
investigating its own mail2news link. At the least, when this becomes
available, syncing newsgroup names & hierarchies would be interesting.
Or maybe we (ASF) could adopt the Gmane tools for setting up our own
gateway?

Apparently.
I managed to post before they closed it down. I'm not sure whether the
SPAM protection and email address verification are any worse than ezmlm,
so maybe they revert it to the previous situation (posting allowed).

I tried to post, and got this
From: Gmane Autoauthorizer <au...@gmane.org>
Subject: Gmane is unable to post your message
To: jefft@apache.org
You have tried posting to gmane.text.xml.forrest.devel, which is a
non-public mailing list. Gmane can therefore not send this message
to that mailing list.
Is "subscribers-only" the same as "read-only"?
