I thought it's because this is the Gentoo *users'* list, not the dev list? :)
It doesn't matter whether we want it or not -- we users couldn't do
much about an Official Gentoo nntp-server even if we wanted to. That
requires (infra) dev access. Ergo, a user would most likely proceed by
filing a bug report / feature request -- just like was suggested quite
early on in the thread.
And I bet if a bug / feature request were filed, it would be closed as
"ain't going to happen." I know that doesn't exist but they may make
that available for just this one purpose. I think Gentoo has more than
enough communication methods already. Forums, the docs and a LOT of
mailing lists. One more way is not going to help anything. If a person
can't find a answer, either they ain't looking or it hasn't happened yet.
