ISTM that it would be useful to have Gmane (http://www.gmane.org/)
subscribe to the mailing lists; this would give us the option of
accessing them with NNTP, as well as allowing web-based browsing
searching of the archives. No effort on our part, beyond filling out a
form.

I can go ahead and add them to Gmane, if nobody objects. Would
gmane.org.hcoop.{announce,discuss,misc} be okay?
