I am willing to sponser an attempt to create usenet groups for the mailling lists if there is sufficient want/need for this and if the mailing list maintainer would be willing to setup the mail-to-news gateway.

Yes, unfortunatly google groups will only archive newsgroup that are 
propagated through the world-wide usenet.  I think you can only get 
gmane news from news.gmane.org.  At least I can't get gmane news from my 
schools news server.  (I don't think I can...I have tried)

If people are happy with everything how it is I won't bother.  I am just 
a big fan of the google groups interface and it is becoming quite 
popular.  This would just be an additional way for people to gain access 
to the mailing list + archives and could increase octaves visibility.
