Neither news.redhat.com nor gmane.org are replacements for the mail list.
Here's what I just discovered:
Redhat's nntp gateway exports the following:
gated.:
ataraid-list
dm-devel
elfutils-list
enigma-list
fedora-desktop-list
fedora-patches-list
fedora-tools-list
k12ltsp-list
linux.cluster
linux-lvm
open-source-now-list
redhat-install-list
redhat-list
redhat-s390-list
rhl-beta-list
rhl-devel-list
rhl-docs-list
rhl-list
test
fedora-desktop-list doesn't not contain fedora-list articles.
gmane.org's groups also don't contain one to back fedora-list.
So how are these acceptable replacements for the mail list?
