Hi!
As requested in http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/devs.html, I would
like to note that I noticed a bug in gate_news (mailman-2.1.11), for which a fix has been proposed a couple of years ago. I applied this fix, and it solved the problem for me, so I suggest that this fix goes into the next mailman release if the developers don't see potential problems with it.
More details are here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/265941
Kind regards,
Markus

I suggest the attached patch (gate_news.patch.txt) rather than the one in the bug report. There could be errors such as a bad nntp_host for a particular list that will throw socket.error. If we're going to not allow one list's configuration to abort processing (a good thing I think), we need to continue on socket.error too.
Thoughts?

BTW, I've updated the devs.html page so that it contains the up-to- date information on the move to Launchpad.
