We're not talking about the usenet<-->list gateway.

Gmane.io is a server that subscribes to and archives many thousands of
email lists. It provides NNTP access to that archive. It submits
postings made by NNTP clients via e-mail. It stopped allowing posting
a few days ago for python-list.

At least one other gmane user has also reported being no longer able
to post to python-list.

Posting to other lists via gmane still works fine.

My first _guess_ would be that Mailman started refusing emailed posts
from the gmane server to python-list, and that triggered the gmane server
to stop accepting posts for python-list.
