I understand that gmame requires somekind of registration, to validate your email. It could be done on a different server than the forum nntp, and have different rules (if wanted). As a first step :-?
The setup there is a little different; I understand that to gate to the forums from e-mail, you set up an e-mail address that subscribes to the list, and then the gateway handles passing messages to/from the list.
For gmane, the list is the master to which everything else is slaved. The web- and nntp interfaces are just that - interfaces.
Yes, that's my understanding of how it works as well. But I think (I don't know for certain) that while the list is the master, the NNTP server itself probably has its own database (it does run on INN), so in that regard, it's not entirely dissimilar.
But the larger issue is that cultural issue - differences in behavioural standards between the lists and the forums, for example.
I think the main reason those two cultures are so different is that they have been kept segregated - neither has had an impact on the other.
Yes - and there are portions where those groups maybe don't need to overlap as much today.
