I agree - do we need the nntp? those who use news readers still (!)
would know what to do - could we just link to the http interface if we
don't already.
In terms of finding answers - google indexes the mailing lists just
fine, I often find answers myself that way ! so the read only aspect
is ok.
What is the experience like if people want to post to the lists from
gmane etc? Does it actually work? I have never tried it myself, always
been a mailing list fan myself (but that is changing, its just too
much to keep up with).

Hi guys,
Many people don't subscribe to the user mailing list because they don't
want to litter their mailbox.
So instead, they start mailing dev's directly, which we don't want.
One solution is
gmane.org.
Gmane turns our mailing lists into newsgroups,
so if they direct their e-mail client to this newsgroup url
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.user
they can ask a question without littering their mailbox.
I propose we add another column to this page
http://www.jboss.org/drools/lists.html
with the title
Newsgroup (doesn't litter mailbox)
Which has a link to these url's:
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.user
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.devel
