Well, er, I guess I'm the one who established this service, and you
can read more about it on <URL: http://gmane.org/>. I don't follow
this mailing list in particular, so if someone wants to announce
something for this mailing list, I'm probably not the person to do
that.

Indeed -- that's when the test period was over and gmane.org was
started properly. As for searching, that's something that will be
added at a later date, when there's something to search there.
(Probably by implementing the NNTP searching extensions, or perhaps by
slapping a web search interface on top of the news spool. We'll see.)
