An update: I have fully automated the process, it now fetches mails
from Gmane over HTTP which gives it the Gmane URLs for free.  I'm
rather happy with the latter feature, especially since Konsole has a
feature to recognize and open links directly.

I have imported all commits, and mails since roughly July 2008
(starting with Gmane 89000).  In this timeframe there were 1802
non-merge commits, and the mailnotes tree now holds 1122 annotations.

Wonderful.
