Posting to other lists in gmane still works fine for me. It's only the
python list that turned into read-only.

I've switched back and forth between Usenet and gmane a couple times
trying to figure out which one had the least breakage in references:

and counted thread breakage. The last time I ran that test gmane had a
slight advantage in thread integrity and fewer posters in need of
plonking.
