It's not in that FAQ, nor in the web page for the pan users group.
I did ask "Lars" but he controls gmane, not the pan users group.

Amazingly, the pan users group just (apparently) assumes you omnipotently 
already know what to set the NNTP client server:port, login:password, and 
user:email to in order to post successfully.

For example, this is what you need to post to *this* group:
 Group name = gmane.linux.centos.general
 Server = news.gmane.org
 Port = 119
 Login = blank
 Password = blank
 Username = Foo
 Email = foo at bar.com <== this is all that needs to be pre-registered in order 
 to post to gmane.linux.centos.general. (I forget how I had pre-registered, 
 but, IIRC, I had sent an email to someone at somewhere and they wrote back 
 with the instructions above - which allows me to post as long as I put that
 email address in the posting profile).
