Twisted would provide the server.  The only reason I'm thinking Twisted is 
because it might be easier to configure permissions for and integrate with 
Mailman.  But there might be other options, e.g. along the lines of using 
dovecot for IMAP.

Well, you'd have to open the appropriate port.  Gmane is a fine service, but 
it's run by a party you don't control.  The idea here is to run a server that 
you do control for sites that want to do that.
