But so is cygwin-patches, and gmane *can* post to cygwin-patches!
gmane requires a legitimate email address before posting, and
therefore gmane will not allow an unsubscribe user to post to
a moderated list. The difference is whether gmane is set up as
a one-way list (as is cygwin-apps) or a moderated list (as is
cygwin-patches). All I was asking is that gmane be told that
cygwin-apps can be treated like cygwin-patches, instead of
a one-way list. But I can also live with the status quo, there
is no need to do this just because I asked if you don't want to.
