I apologize to all concerned. There *was* a communication problem.
As I now understand it,
Lars created the site/software that allows MANY mailing lists to be
gatewayed to nntp. (I thought this was a special thing created just for
cygwin. I was wrong. Sorry for the confusion.)
Somebody else "hooked up" cygwin's mailing lists to Lars' gmane
system. (I thought Lars did this. I was wrong. Sorry for the confusion.)
A third person posted the announcement on the cygwin webpage, since
nobody could figure out who the person in step #2 was.
Everybody now knows that there is an nntp-maillist gateway.
Hooray for collaboration. Let's all go write some code now.
