It occurs to me that maybe I could set up a one-way gateway from some arbitrary low-traffic newsgroup to a one-off mailing list. I haven't any experience setting up gate_news. Can someone here suggest a recipe for testing this beast which doesn't require too much scaffolding?
The issue here is that you not only need to set up a different version of gate_news, you really kind of need to set up a different copy of Mailman to play with, and you need a few test e-mail addresses to use as your mail-side subscribers, and a news server account somewhere else in the world so that you can see what news articles look like when they go out.
Any of the standard "test" newsgroups would be fine to use as your guinea pig, since you're going to go ahead and throw all that stuff away when you're done.
Barry does a lot of this kind of testing in his own little playground on the machines he owns, and I believe that Mark does the same.
We can see about setting up a second copy of Mailman (and gate_news) on the python.org machines, but it would be a little easier to test with if we could do that on a machine that did not already have an existing production Mailman installation.
