They don't. alt.os.linux.ubuntu isn't in *any way* related to any Ubuntu
list, group, forum et al. If you read the usenet charter it was simply
started by folks that wanted a usenet group. Ubuntu user lists are
available via gmane.org at: gmane.linux.ubuntu.user, as are nearly all
the other Ubuntu lists:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/

There's your answer.
