To answer another question from the post:

"But do I want to do this? Asking mailing lists admins to trust me again, with a new domain after the previous debacle, is a bit too much, isn't it?"

I'm a list admin for a mailing list available on gmane. Granted, it doesn't get much traffic. As a list admin, I feel that Lars -- via gmane -- is providing an invaluable service for my list. At least for me, it's not too much to ask, though I'm a sample size of one.

I appreciate being able to use Gmane to read and contribute to so many mailing lists, all from the comfort of my favorite newsreader (gnus). Rather than having many sporadically-followed lists delivered via email, I can access them over NNTP, saving disk space etc. I'd miss it if it were gone.
