Using Gmane for some groups generally implies

1. Registering with Gmane in that group (it automatically sends you a
message if you never wrote to that group before)
2. Registering with the list itself

It apparently is not the case with this list -- you can still post if
you're not registered, but you get through moderation.

But shorter posting delays and less work for the moderation team are
just an e-mail away.

That group is flagged as moderated, too. So maybe you were just lucky
and the moderator happened to read your message just a few minutes after
it was sent.

To use Gmane you already have to give your real e-mail, IIRC. So it's
not much of a privacy issue.

Please note that what Cor suggested was that you subscribe the *nomail*
version of the list. You will not be receiving list e-mails, but you
will be treated, from a moderation point of view, as a regular
subscriber.
