If it worked, it would be just like the zsh mailing list setup that was
suggested, which is a good thing IMHO.

If gmane is to be trusted (and if I parsed the output of:

   http://gmane.org/output-rate.php?group=gmane.comp.version-control.git

correclty), then the git mailing list has received an average of about
80 messages per day in 2010.

The "about" page for the git-users group seems to indicate that the
group has received about 65 messages per _month_ over the last
4 higher-traffic-than-normal months.  A drop in the bucket compared
to the main mailing list.

But, the "about" page here:

   http://groups.google.com/group/git-users/about

also says:

   "Only members can post"

That would need to be opened up so that non-members from the
main git list could reply to posts originating from the "users"
group.
