Did the Fedora lists' administrators remember to tell Lars at gmane.org about the list transition? I'd like to keep reading the list mail on GMANE, and I have a feeling that something is not right yet when looking at how few messages are being posted to GMANE this weekend.

I doubt it. And I would suggest that it's not the list admins responsibility to worry about 3rd party services like gmane (of which there may be many). If you are a gmane user, please send whatever information they may need to the admins at gmane.
Thanks,

Well, I got a couple posts via Gmane yesterday, and reported that here, taking it as success; but methinks it was premature. I don't see much, either.
I had also put up a post, labelled simply "Fedora.general" on Gmane.discuss; that has had no reply so far.
Pretty please, admins?

I'm not even sure what you want the list admins to do. If it's something like mailing someone at gmane.org with the updated address, anyone can do that. Someone that uses gmane should take it upon themselves to do so.
I won't speak for any of the other volunteer list admins here, but I have no plans to spend my time updating a 3rd party service that I don't use. I donate my time to tend the list moderation queue for this list and several others for Fedora as well as package a few things and help out with the infrastructure team.
I think it's quite reasonable that gmane users handle this themselves. If some action is required that only a list admin can perform, please contact us at the proper address (users-owner@lists.fedoraproject.org) and include all the details.
