Ummm. IMHO the mailing lists are gatewayed into the net and back.
However, what's on the net is not controlled by FSF. 
Since usenet == anarchy, I might even create my own gnu.config.

If FSF cannot take the critique they can decide
- to pull the plug for the gateway
  (I would regret this)
- gateway only to the net, but not back so the mailing list people
  won't see any usenet replies. 
  (I don't have much problems with this one)
- make it a moderated group

I don't think a group can be owned by someone.
If it can it may be time for FUF (Free Usenet Foundation) :-)
