I'm one of those that miss MT-NW dearly, so it's a welcome effort. But one 
of the weak points of MT-NW was its UI, unfortunately.

Here's a blog I wrote about how to "fix" the UI of Unison, which has really 
nice, but underused UI:

<http://mac.sandman.net/pages/thoughts/2013-10-23/Switching_To_Unison>

So that's basically some of the features and UI things I would like to see 
in a news client. Maybe it can help as some form of feedback. I would 
certainly expect Signal to "inherit" the strong filtering functions from 
MT-NW with regexp's and filtering on any header.
