I didn't realize that the posts would be so delayed, or that they
were going through at all. I hoped that they would just outright fail
until one finally went through and that would be it.
So, again, I apologize for the spam. I don't know of another way to test
it.

That's easy: there's a special list called debian-lists-test
with which to conduct experiments.

That doesn't make sense. Usenet and NNTP is a different protocol than
mailing lists and various email protocols. Why would you expect
protocols to cross pollinate?
I've never seen the Usenet equivalents documented anywhere. Do you
know what they are? Maybe something like comp.debian or
comp.linux.debian?

Gateways. They live between protocols. In the concrete case, mail to
news gateways (for example gmane [1]).
Indeed, Debian states the mailing lists can be read via Usenet groups (<https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/>): "Furthermore, you can browse
our mailing lists as Usenet newsgroups."

They seem to live under the "linux" hierarchy, at least on Eternal
September [1]. But I haven't poked too deeply, so corrections are
welcome :-)

Indeed, SMTP and NNTP are quite different and can't be expected to cross pollinate. However, in Emacs and Linux, all things are possible, in
theory. So, with a little experimentation, and some regrettable spam, I
was able to use posting-styles and hooks in Gnus and read posts via
usenet and then follow-up to said post without switching interfaces. I
can now post/follow-up as if posting directly to a newsgroup.
Thank you everyone for you patience.
