Gmane is a newsgroup. They require verification of the the sender before they post the message. 
This serves the same purpose as subscribing to this list. Any senders of spam can be removed.

It is redundant to require the user to subscribe to the mailing list in order to post through 
Gmane. The page at
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.discuss clearly states "Status: posting 
allowed".

If subscription to the mailing list is required, it should be stated on the Gmane page, 
although there is no real need to dual subscribe and defeats the whole purpose of Gmane.
