We should automate this IMHO.

My plan was to add some whitelist for gmane, and some script to
subscribe to gmane using www::mechanize, as this would auto subscribe
new lists that we created.

mhh, I think you wanted "committer at mageia" rather than root at . That
didn't made much sense now I think of.

Nope. Only founders have for now.

$ grep aliases_group  modules/postfix/manifests/init.pp
        $aliases_group = ['mga-founders'] 

For sure we can add to others, but I would prefer that we formalise a
little bit more how do we distribute them ( ie what about others group
than packagers and translators who are in ldap, as we should strive to
include others group as well ).
