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.
