I think it's a fine idea!  I don't have any problem with stuff being
posted via Gmane, but would be very concerned about email addresses
being kept hidden.  I get enough spam already, thank you.  If there's an
option to keep email addresses inacessible to viewers of the list, that
would be the way to go.
