I'll look into it. I was also trying to see if we could dump the list to a newsgroup as well (there is an administrator interface for that in the mailman program), but none of the IT guys here seem very keen on the idea.
The question is what benefit does it get you by gatewaying it to usenet? If you were trying to reach everybody in the world, then, ok, I'd see how you would want that. Most people who will want to read the dm-l I would think would have no problem doing so via email. But I'm happy to be convinced.
I'd second the idea of searchable list archives. At least for subscribers. I believe this is also possible in mailman.
