Synchronization between help-gnu-emacs and gnu.emacs.help

[tpeplt]

At http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/documentation.html is
the following text:

> Asking for help
> 
> To ask for help with GNU Emacs, use the mailing list
> help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org or the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help. The
> mailing list and newsgroup are linked: messages posted on
> one appear on the other as well.

Is this text correct?  Are messages that are sent to either of
these forwarded to the other?  Or is this description out of
date?

Are the other gnu.emacs.* groups still used?
