Such functionality should be part of the news system, not NNTP. I would guess
that the news relay and news posting functions of CNEWS could be modified to
do this. However, you'll probably have to do this yourself.

NNTP will not support such features and no plans are on the drawing board
to include such features. It is not what NNTP does.
