The folks who run the news--maillist gateway do NOT read each and every 
list that they host.

What Chris is saying, is that you need to send a message to Lars Magne 
Ingebrigtsen, or to the gmane.discuss newsgroup.

Or you could read the info on the www.gmane.org webpage.

But I've already given away the answer: gmane is a bidirectional 
"gateway".  Messages posted to the mailing list are archived on the 
newsgroup; messages sent to the newsgroup are forwarded to the mailing 
list, PROVIDED the poster (that'd be you) follows certain rules 
involving poster-verification.

(see http://gmane.org/post.php point #1, and the last item: "People who 
do not have valid email addresses in their From or Reply-To headers 
can't use Gmane to post to mailing lists.")

this means that you need to post to the newsgroup using a REAL email 
return address -- not a spam-protected one like bob@my.NO.mailbox.SPAM.com.
