Am I supposed (authorized) to do that? I looked at that form, there a
quite a few questions the owner of that group should answer and not me. 

So its not (only) me - it is somehow unclear how to read/write such a
group in gnus? I would probably suggest to add that group to gmane to
the relevant people, but I'm still not sure if its a real problem or
only a newbie problem with an easy solution I'm having?
