I think you would want both. The only problem I have with setting up a gateway like this is that we currently require subscription to post. How would that work with a news -> list gateway?
The reverse gateway should be no problem. The way to handle the subscription issue with a usenet group is to have a moderation of the group before accepting the posting. Posting would be held at the gateway till they are moderated. I suspect this might be a lot of work if there are a large number of junk postings, and I'm not sure there is automatic software to deal with the spam.
Frankly, I see the technical issue as minor next to the issue of moderation. So Colin if you want it, you're the moderator....
