 In fact, for articles sent through Usenet servers, it is generally
considered an _annoyance_ to include unannounced "courtesy copies"
since replies to them will not usually reach the list and will
require redoing.

This is a mailing list and not a news group.  I don't care if you use
a newsgroup gateway if it isn't broken.  As it is, gmane is broken as
far as I'm concerned.

A gateway should not be sending to anything but the mailing list
address.  It is not a mail multiplicator.

So please complain to gmane or change your setup.

I already explained: the git mailing list is set up in a manner that
will block mail from some accounts of mine without notice or error
report.

If there is general consensus on the list that news gateways are not
compatible with the mailing list policies, please report this to gmane,
and gmane will switch the list off-line.

I have no idea why anybody would think this an improvement, but given
the amount of flak I already got for daring to use gmane, it will
probably improve the atmosphere on the list if people like me are locked
out completely from participation rather than their usage of gmane be
lambasted time and again.
