Absolutely, there's demand for it. Usenet activity is growing daily and 
corporations still set up NNTP servers for internal newsgroups because 
it's easy. NNTP works and there is nothing right now that can replace it 
(and i'd argue why replace it, just improve it if you don't like it). 
There are those who claim that WebDAV will replace NNTP, but I don't 
think it's likely that all the newsgroups that exist today will just dry 
up and migrate to WebDAV just because WebDAV is "theoretically" 
superior. Maybe in time that will happen, but the basic concept of 
newsgroups will not ever go away so if Evolution had a newsreader, it 
can just as easily support WebDAV as well as it does NNTP.
