It seems to me that much the same could be done with moderated
groups already, but I guess it's a matter of preference whether
this should be a part of the NNTP standard.

A read-only NNTP server for the lore.kernel.org mailing lists is
here:
nntp.lore.kernel.org

It doesn't seem to be properly maintained though, mailing lists
move and apparantly their new groups aren't included, or maybe
they've actually been moved off that server and can't be included
easily. I've never looked into it that closely, but it might be
something you could follow up on.
