Did you find the:

) news.gmane.io account settings?

) Then the "Manage newsgroup subscription" selection
   (after "Read messages" on the left)?

If yes, type "freebsd" into the "Show items that contain" box. In
the list below that was filled in, I checked off the ones that I was
interested in. Interpreting the names an be somewhat interesting.

An example is the ".scm" names being for things like
dev-commits-src-main (main a.k.a. current) and dev-commits-ports-all .
