Gmane mirrors about 250 other Python mailing lists under 
gman.comp.python.xxx. I currently subscibe to 3 others.

gmane does this because many people like to
1) look at a group first without subscribing (in the mail list sense, as 
opposed to the newgroup sense of click a box)
2) keep messages for each group separated (without having to add folders 
and filters to their email reader)
3) only download messages they want to read
