What address did you send to?

If I understand correctly, email to 

    python-ideas at googlegroups.com

will only go to Google Groups, but email to

    python-ideas at python.org

will come to this mailing list, and from there, it will be mirrored at 
various places, such as Gmane and Google Groups. This is out of our 
control, as far as I understand it is entirely Google's decision to have 
GoogleGroups behave the way it does, and there is nothing we can do 
about it.

Complain to Google. They won't care, but they could fix this if they 
wanted to.
