Actually @Dmitry, if you actually want an answer, the best way would be
to send a message without CCs to each list admin address and ask
directly.

Ie. Subject something like:
 Is it ok if NNTP gateway gmane removes address munging for list <list-name>?

Then an explanation, something like:
 "The NNTP gateway gmane, which carries this list, modifies everything
  that looks like an email address.  This was intended as a spam blocker,
  but I doubt the effectiveness of that, and the address munging confuses
  legitimate software.

  Is it OK if gmane removes the address munging?"

And then forward all positive responses to the gmane admins asking the
address munging be undone.

I think asking across all gnus lists will get exactly no answers.  Also
a lot of Cc-ing will contribute to no answers.

(at least, that's what I think)
