Creating a newsgroup has been discussed before. It requires a substantial
effort to create a newsgroup. Also, people were concerned about
spam.

I am still pro-newsgroup. Although I post to several newsgroups, the spam
I recieve is tolerable. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go through
the process of creating a newsgroup.

But there is a news-server that mirrors the list, although it does not
send messages posted there to the mailinglist. The server is
scully.esat.kuleuven.ac.be.
