Okay, that is the list > newsgroup direction.

Yes, that direction is what I want.

My question however was in regards to the other direction. I was
hoping someone here may know how things work the other way. 

Would someone who wasn't a member of the list be able to post via
Gmane NNTP ? If they could then the news post would presumably 
be forwarded to the list ? Avoiding "authentication" barriers.
