There's definitely a need that gmane fills, at least w.r.t. our
mailing lists on python.org/zope.org.  There's a /lot/ of people who
simply want read-only access to the discussions -- they're deliberate
lurkers.  Web archives generally suck so a non-expiring read-only
newsfeed would fit the bill nicely, especially if someone else
maintains it. :)
