I just found the page I was searching for this morning:
<http://gmane.org/import.php>:
| If you wish to have an archive of a mailing list you administrate
| imported into Gmane, send a mail to Lars with the URL of the
| mailing list archive, and which group it should be imported into.

So, contacting them is exactly the right thing to do. Sorry for the
noise. (Although one could probably just include a link to the
mbox-archive in the comments field of the subscription form, plus a
statement saying that you are the list admin.)

BTW, rereading my earlier post, I realized it may have come across a
little rude. Thankfully, that ISO8859-1 character in my name has
"Beware! Non-native speaker!" written in big red flashing letters all
over it (-;
