Adding a Mailing List

To add a mailing list, use the subscription form or send a mail to request@gmane.org (which is gated into the gmane.discuss newsgroup). Almost any mailing list can be added. Just include subscription information.

To add a mailing list with the least work (for me), please include the following information.

The email address of the mailing list itself.
The topic of the mailing list, if it isn't obvious from the name.
If possible, the type of the mailing list software used.

With these three things, I'll then construct the following Gmane configuration line:

bugtraq:gmane.comp.security.bugtraq:bugtraq@securityfocus.com:Computer Security Vulnerabilities::ezmlm

I then run that line through various scripts, and the list is added within minutes.

The types of mailing list used is usually one of these:

mailman
ezmlm
majordomo
listserv
egroups

If you don't know the mailing list type, I can usually figure it out myself by poking around a bit, but please include an URL to the mailing list admin page in that case.
