For the OpenOffice.org mailing lists sending without extra subscription 
via Gmane became enabled just four or five years ago.

I don't know about the background - perhaps someone here remembers...

But please let us establish our own infrastructure first.

In my opinion Gmane posting is an additional nice-to-have feature, that 
can be improved, when time allows it.
... especially if there is a workaround (subscribe-nomail) ...

If someone is able to edit the status (to "Status: posting allowed after 
subscription <discuss+subscribe-nomail@documentfoundation.org>") this 
would be great.

Best regards

Bernhard
