Amen.
If no-one can come up with a fix for #936, however, I think it would
be acceptable to make the gateway one-way, mail->news only. I don't
think people need to be able to report bugs via usenet. For those who
want to do so, gmane exists.
This problem continues to happen, resulting in information loss.
For example today:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2009-11/msg00578.html
was sent via the bug newsgroup. It appeared on the bug mailing list,
but not in the tracker:
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=4883
It seems worth thinking about this while the issue of how to get mail
into the tracker is on the table.
