Yes. Part of the FAQ. There were accesses to the FAQ the day that the lists were signed up, but I have no idea whether the gmane people did it. Had they searched the FAQ for the string "archive" they would have found the note that requires any external archiver to contact each message author individually for permission. They responded to my note to postmaster, and I replied with my opinion that this violates the mailing list owner's compilation copyright and that they need to contact the mailing list owner for permission before making this sort of connection. My site policies would stop me from granting any such permission --- the right to participate in an external archive or not is reserved to the individual message author. >Here's why I ask.

More likely that the note was missed, although it is also possible that no one specifically asked that the apple lists be gatewayed. They have some discussions on line (and, I'll bet, googleable) and you might try searching them. -- I'm going to change my name to 'Squawk' because that is what my parrots call me.
