By convention on this list replies are sent to the originator _and_ the mailing list (and quite often a few people that may provide a better answer to the questions being asked). As for searching I sometimes find using google's site:http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git yields better results than the gmane's own search (also I'm familiar with how to tell google to ignore a particular word which can help weed out unwanted results).
