And I apologise because I saw that complaint and had meant to reply. In 
short, it's not the list owners who manage the gateway but rather the 
mailman administrators for the whole of the python.org lists. I do 
remember some discussion / explanation of possible problems when the 
mailman version was upgraded a few months ago. I'll try to dig those out 
and follow up with the people involved.

FWIW I assume the issue is with the mail -> news gateway as I see no 
problems with the mailing list threading (at least using TB on Windows) 
and the archive doesn't appear to lose threading either AFAICT. Please 
feel free to point out if I'm wrong about that.
