They're not trivial to get right from first principles, but they're very common, and I'm sure someone who's done it before can lend a hand. It would, however, make sense from my perspective if a unidirectional gateway were set up (mail = news -- note direction!), and the newsgroup were to become merely a reflector of the mailing list. ...and that would be sufficient for -announce.
