For example, Ted Zlatanov's response to bug 5307 today. (Actually, he's the only person I ever notice using the news gateway to post.) The only idea I had to fix this was that the news->mail gateway should inject messages into submit@debbugs.gnu.org rather than directly to the bug-gnu-emacs list. (Debbugs would then automatically take care of appending the data to an exiting report or creating a new bug depending on whether the subject line contained an existing bug number.) Does anyone knw if this is doable? It doesn't seem to be possible in a standard mailman setup, but could the FSF admins somehow add it as a special case? Otherwise I reiterate my proposal from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-11/msg01209.html 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.
