The newsgroup creation was preceeded by the formation of the list itself.
That convention is one originated by uunet -- we tend to maintain our own
mailpaths file, and of 300 or so entries, less than 10 follow that
convention.  Uunet merely redirects news-group-name to the appropriate
moderator.  Since news administrators usually have to manually override
the uunet default, the address of the moderator shouldn't be of
particular importance.
