gmane:  doesn't seem configured on lore at all.  Compare:

	https://lore.kernel.org/git/?q=gmane:1
	https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:1

I haven't configured them because I don't understand what benefit they
serve. If someone can explain their benefit, I can consider adding this
to the roadmap.

They allow finding the messages referred to by historic gmane.org
links.  For example,

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/151297/focus=151435

refers to https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:151435, and

  $gmane/127980

refers to https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:127980.  There are
numerous examples of both kinds of references in the mailing list
archive.
