(That's my impression too.)

IIRC, Gmane is just a (cool) hack to mirror mailing lists to a news
server, so everyone can pretend they are reading news and get all the
good stuff that comes with that. So Usenet newsgroup names don't apply
to gmane, right?
IOW, we could perhaps discuss Gmane in addition to Mailing lists or
Usenet, but it would be discussed as its own, separate thing?
(It's been a while since I used Gmane, sorry if I'm confused or
confusing...)
