GMane is an e-mail to news gateway, and a mailing list archive. It exposes mailing list as a newsgroup, so it can be read and written to via newsreader (via Usenet). Perhaps better solution would be to use mailto:git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx link, and add a sentence about archives / alternative interfaces. > I know mailing lists, but that > doesn't look like one at all. There's not even a subscription page or > address. git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is a public non-subscribe mailing list; you don't need to subscribe to post requests there. Note that it is a custom on this mailing list to always include all participants in given (sub)thread directly in Cc, so you should get responses to your emails even if you are not subscribed.

Confusing and non-transparent. If you send email to git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, it would also appear on GMane. -- Jakub Narebski -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
