I don't think this is a danger. To the best of my knowledge, Gmane is
only a mail-to-news and news-to-mail *gateway*, not a news server.
Posting an article results in a message to the mailing list (if that's
possible); only when the message arrives back via the list is it
available via the news interface. So as I understand it, it's not
technically possible to post a message that is visible only through
the Gmane news server but not to people subscribed to the mailing
list.
I could be wrong.

That would be bad indeed.
