Nothing! Nothing at all. That is, if you're talking about *people*. People are absolutely welcome to join. The reason the S/N would improve is all the non-people who post to the newsgroup. But there are some people who simply don't want to use the mailing list, and that's currently a fully-welcomed option. I won't name names, but there definitely are people who would prefer a newsreader, so the gateway is serving them very well. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
