How are those of us who get minix through the mail list supposed to
follow this?  I do not currently have a newsfeed (it has been down for
over a month).  I think it's much more important that the minix
community discusses what to do with its newsgroup (and mail list) than
for the rest of the USENET community to worry about what we're doing.

As far as my opinion goes, I like the idea of a discussion group
(comp.os.minix, aka minix-l) and a second unmoderated group for sources
and patches (comp.os.minix.code, maybe minix-src-l).  The second group
should also be a second, separate, mail list.  This would allow those
of us on the mail list to archive as easily as those getting the
newsgroup.  If you what to read all the sources (by mail list), once
you have subscribed to the source list, it would look the same as
before since all the postings could wind up in the same local mail
box.
