I would suggest to subscribe all the lists to gmane.org, then just put a 
link to their web-based nntp reader. I suppose you could also simply 
download their frontend, but I would not recommend it :). I tried once 
to set it up locally, but there wasn't enough documentation to do it 
quickly.

Their news "daemon" is also far superior to inn2 in my opinion. Think of 
a mailing-list as an alternative (way easier to configure) way of 
requesting a news feed, without the need of administrator intervention 
like traditional feeds.

I was used to run an heavily patched inn2 and gate all the lists I was 
following to it before discovering gmane. Their service is probably the 
last thing that can save net news, because google groups (especially the 
v2) is literally killing it.

Nowdays I just subscribe the list to gmane, thought I generally ask the 
lists administrators to do that themselves. Depending on your spool, 
maybe you can also import the whole archive easily.
