For postgresql.org's own news servers, maybe. I really don't know.
But for newsgroups in the big-8 hierarchy carried by other news
servers: As someone who was involved in the creation of a newsgroup in
the big-8 hierarchy, I can tell you it's much more involved than that.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/creating-newsgroups/part1/ will give
you an idea of the process.
