Yes. Part of the FAQ. There were accesses to the FAQ the day that the
lists were signed up, but I have no idea whether the gmane people did
it. Had they searched the FAQ for the string "archive" they would have
found the note that requires any external archiver to contact each message
author individually for permission.
They responded to my note to postmaster, and I replied with my opinion that
this violates the mailing list owner's compilation copyright and that they
need to contact the mailing list owner for permission before making this
sort of connection. My site policies would stop me from granting any such
permission --- the right to participate in an external archive or not is
reserved to the individual message author.

More likely that the note was missed, although it is also possible that no
one specifically asked that the apple lists be gatewayed. They have some
discussions on line (and, I'll bet, googleable) and you might try searching
them.

I'm going to change my name to 'Squawk' because that is what my parrots
