The istallation of the crontab is documented in the installation manual
(http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node41.html>.

I don't think it is appropriate to document cron/gate_news in the web
admin interface because the typical list admin can't do anything about
it anyway. It is an installation responsibility, not a list admin
responsibility.

Also, in Mailman as we ship it, the cron/gate_news entry is not
commented out. That was done either by your site or by some repackager.
