Perhaps in parallel with the Usenet community voting whether they want to receive posts from the mailing lists, we can have the mailing list subscribers vote on whether they want to receive messages from the Usenet or want to have their messages forwarded to the Usenet. That might be interesting.
If it isn't already in mailman, it would be an interesting option to add to mailman's web interface to give subscribers the option to include or exclude posts being gatewayed from USENET.
gatewaying means that there is an address subscribed to the lists that sends all email's to the news server ... a feature like the above would have to be akin to a "don't send to subscriber X" ...
Also note that any such restrictions would end up affecting gmane and google as well ...
