Yes, basically the people from gmane subscribes to the list and establishes 
a two-way gateway from mail to their nntp server. E-mail addresses are 
scrambled to minimize spam.

I guess people using usenet through newsreaders is going constantly down (as 
compared to google news, or using news at all).

It suffices to fill-in a request form in the gmane website and they set it 
up. They seem to be down right now, so I can't link to it, though.
