I use NNTP because I don't want a firehose of email directly into my inbox. Also, the Gmane interface is *way* better than Mailman if you want to go through a thread. Mailman only indents so many times and (I believe) will not link across months, so you need to keep figuring out what is going on. Plus, it show what messages you've already read.
DDoS against FOSS infrastructure has been happening recently (spam accounts/edits on Fedora infrastructure, our company Gitlab instance got hit by Quickbooks spam, and I heard of other stories), so I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another step in that event.
