The closest we have that I am aware of is gmane.emacs.help.

<blush> 

yes, of course.  although I have that in my list of newsgroups, I have
it turned off in preference to the mailing list.  Not sure why, mind
you.

maybe because Lars considered shutting gmane down and transfered/sold it
to a company?

Maybe but also possibly because the org site makes reference to the list
but not to the newsgroup?  

Might be good to point new users to the newsgroup as it is archived (on
gwene) whereas the list no longer is (was on gmane).  Now I'm even
confusing myself ;-)

having access to an archive is a good thing. On the other hand, I don't
make much use of the older postings in my own archive (about 65k
postings), maybe because Org changed so much over time.
