There are several email to rss gateway software packages out there; it
would be trivial to roll your own.

YMMV, but after reading a couple of other mailing lists that were
gatewayed to rss, my sense is that RSS is not the right technology for
reading NANOG unless one were to create a "first article only" feed.
Due to different ways of looking at data than one would usually think
of when designing a mail or usenet reader, all RSS readers of my
admittedly fairly narrow acquaintance are lacking in one critical
(imnsho) feature for reading NANOG-L: "kill thread".
