I think this is exactly right for read-only NNTP, and in fact the current
MM3 NNTP bridge could probably be rewritten as an archiver plugin (that's not
a bad idea for someone looking to do a bite-size branch!).  I think there
would need to be tighter integration for the posting side, a la Gmane.  Unlike
Gmane though, if you post through NNTP and we "know who you are", we wouldn't
need to do the verification dance.
