Sounds very interesting Jehan. May I ask, have you noticed any increase in spam as a result of using their service? I mean does your email address get picked up by spammers more so using their service than just straight mailling list use?
Every post on the mailing list are forwarded to the newsgroup and vice versa. So that your email address goes to a newsgroups first or the mailing first, it's the same.
Now, gmane could sell the addresses if they wanted to but there would be no reason for them to get the address from people sending a post to the newsgroups and not from those sending to the mailing list.
Otherwise, I haven't looked in detail but they have some way thing to help protect against address harvesting (http://gmane.org/tmda.php).
