It's not hard to find or use. Also, decending to personal attacks does not further the disuussion. > Good god man, this is an open source software project.

The list owners/maintainers have clearly said that they don't want to play with gmane. Done. If gmane had added some of my lists w/o asking, I'd have some impolite things to say about that, too. Just because mailman is an opensource project doesn't mean that the maintainers -owe- the rest of the world anything. (And, if you want to keep up with announcements, subscribe to the mailman-announce list.)
