First of all, thank you Lars for running this invaluable service for so long!
And second, regarding the question βIs it even useful for anybody any more?β:
Definitely yes. I have often used news.gmane.org to selectively read for example emacs-devel and other mailing lists without having to subscribe to all of them. The NNTP gateway allows very convenient browsing of messages, and also posting and responding, from within Emacs and especially via Gnus for which we can also thank you.
It is great that this will now continue at news.gmane.io, so thank you once more!
