Seems it's a mailing-list archiver according to the about page above (cut down 
version below)...

"Privacy
The second major problem is the loss of privacy, and is a bit more difficult to 
program around. 
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. 

 
Some people on these somewhat-private lists who learn about Gmane get a bit 
miffed. During Gmane's first six months, there's been about one request for 
list removals per month.  Of course, any request for removal is acted upon at 
once. 

All the requests were without incident, except one, which basically asked 
(among all the invective and not-so-veiled threats) -- what right do I have to 
do this? "

Hi all,

I am absolutely furious that any e-mails I have sent to the SAM Group have been 
published on the net, I did not give permission for this! If the person who has 
published them gets this, then please remove them IMMEDIATELY.
