Of course it is.  The algorithm 2.11 news uses to mail to moderators
is to replace dots in the newsgroup name with hyphens, and then stuff
this in where the %s appears in your "backbone" line in your
/usr/lib/news/mailpaths file.  So it's comp-sources-misc@backbone,
and similarly for all other moderated groups.
