Specially, if you have a GNU address.What I mean is that the newsgroup could bypass the mailing list, provided people who are involved in maintaining the mailing list are subscribed to to the newsgroup, and post directly to it (as I am doing now). Not really how it works.
I agree that the usual way of posting to the mailing list is through gnu.org servers. But if they were down, don't you think it would be possible to continue conversations on the newsgroup independently of the mailing list? Of course everybody would need to create an account on gmane.io or gwene.com, and get write accesss to the group (after providing a valid email address as identification.) In other words, would the newsgroup be frozen if gnu.org servers were unreachable?
