Gmane seems to be gone

I've been dreading this moment for a couple years: it looks like
gmane.org is gone. The original operator/maintainer gave up a couple
years ago and pulled the plug. Somebody else took over at that point.
The Web UI was never revived, but the basic NNTP<->mailing-list gateway
continue to work -- until tonight. Now the domain is gone. Perhaps
it's just an oversight, but I've got a bad feeling...
I really, really prefer using slrn and an NNTP server to follow
mailing lists, and I was using gmane to follow about a dozen of them
(including the Python list). At least for python, there's still a
Usenet gateway. Unfortunately, that's not true for any of the other
lists that I used to follow on gmane.org.
Does anybody have any idea what it would take to set up a private NNTP
server that served articles from a dozen or so IMAP mailboxes?
How hard would it be to write something like that in Python? I've got
a pretty good handle on the IMAP end of things, but I've got no clue
about the NNTP server end.
