Since a Google Group can be turned into emails, making those mails into NNTP posts isn't a week's worth of work -- less than a day. Actually, there ARE existing gateways to turn mailing lists into NNTP posts and I do suspect any of them could be repurposed. So, technically the problem is as close to non-existent as it gets...

While *all* of Google Groups via NNTP would be nice (or at least the part that isn't already Usenet), you can subscribe single groups to Gmane today, and with much less work :)

Another vote for gmane, I've been using it very happy for a long time now. If I just need to read the mailing list, it's usually already there (and it's easy to sign new ones up). If I also need to write to a mailing list, I subscribe and turn the subscription so that it won't send me messages anymore, or alternatively I filter those messages to a separate mailbox I rarely need to access.
