Hello,

I recently discovered that Gmane [1] is back online, and has a sister:
Gwene [2]. news.gmane.io and news.gwene.org (mirrors of each other) give
access to the RSS feeds of quite a few mailing lists. For example:

health-dev.gnu.org              > gmane.comp.gnu.health.devel
health.gnu.org                  > gmane.comp.gnu.health.general
savannah-hackers-public.gnu.org > gmane.comp.gnu.savannah.hackers.public

The synchronization of these groups with mailing lists seems quite good.

In Thunderbird, I find it easier to subscribe to a feed via an NNTP
gateway than via the "Blogs and News" account (which requires searching
for the feed address). Also, subscribing to an NNTP group gives access
to old messages, whereas in the Blogs and News account Thunderbird only
downloads messages that appeared after the date of subscription.

Would it be possible to add a paragraph to the listinfo pages [3] about
the RSS gateways if the list messages are available through them?

It would also be convenient to find a link to the listinfo page on the
archive index of each list [4]. This isn't the case for health* or
savannah-hackers-public (or for most mailing lists, actually).

Thanks,
Thérèse
