There's a rather long privacy statement at gmane;  I started to paste
part of it here, but it would probably be better to just make the link,
and maybe one sentence. Or five.

http://gmane.org/about.php -- All the mailing lists archived in Gmane
are open mailing lists. The subscription commands sent out by Gmane
clearly identifies Gmane as a mail-to-news gateway, and any
administrator running a closed mailing list should be able to refuse
Gmane entry. -- Of course, any request for removal is acted upon at
once. -- DejaNews settled on using X-No-Archive to say whether something
wasn't supposed to be archived. Gmane does the same.

There are currently something less than a hundred posts in nntp 'users'
for May 28.  It also shows up in my newsreader as 'moderated'.
