Once again, there is no Usenet involved. Gmane.io is an NNTP server,
and NNTP is _also_ used by Usenet servers, but Gmane isn't part of
Usenet and doesn't implement any of the Usenet peering "news"
protocols.

This has nothing to do with Usenet servers or their connections to
python-list.

mentioned that gmane.io does NNTP -- it just seems to have confused
everybody.

When a gmane.io user submits a post, the post arrives at python-list
by normal email channels having been sent via SMTP by the gmane.io
server "From:" the user (who, IIRC, has to be subscribed to the list).
