I'm actually reading python-dev, c.l.py etc. through Gmane, and have done 
that ever since I joined. Simply because it's a mailing list of which I 
don't need a local (content) copy, and wouldn't want one. Gmane seems to 
have a complete archive that's searchable, regardless of "when I subscribed".

It's really sad that Discourse lacks an NNTP interface. There's an 
unmaintained bridge to NNTP servers [1], but not an emulating interface 
that would serve the available discussions via NNTP messages, so that users 
can get them into their NNTP/Mail clients to read them in proper discussion 
threads. I think adding that next to the existing web interface would serve 
everyone's needs just perfectly.

Anyone up for giving that a try? It can't be *that* difficult. ;-)
