I was wondering if perhaps it needed manual action, but, looking back,
we discussed this in May 2022:

   news://news.gmane.io/[email protected]
   
   news://news.gmane.io/[email protected]

And it seems all almalinux groups have had more than one gmane.announce
post after May 2022, except for
gmane.linux.distributions.almalinux.mirror.announce.


(That's curious, because it seems that at least that one group has had
more messages since the last gmane.announce announcement [1]. ...but,
from what I can see, all almalinux groups are still empty, so the
messages did not get into that group despite there having been no more
new group announcements.)

(I'm not personally interested in using these groups, all of this was
because of what I've been seeing in gmane.announce.)
