But there probably should be a per-list configuration option for gateway-ing a list to the news. There may well be lists for which I am willing to advertise the existence without wanting their content to be spread far and wide.
Agreed. Some thoughts.
One is whether the mailing list is gatewayed to "Usenet" (really any external NNTP server). We already have settings for this.
In an mm3 world where we can have multiple system-wide configured and enabled archivers, it probably makes sense to allow individual lists to opt-in or -out of specific available archivers. We've talked about this before, and it's something I'm generally in favor of allowing. The complication is that the system may want to force individual lists to enable certain archivers. E.g. if the site administrators want to keep a local maildir of all messages to all mailing lists.
