Maybe YOU could... there's a perl script out there (STFW) called 
"list2news" or "mail2news" or something like that, that essentially lets 
you do exactly this. There's even a Mini-HOWTO on the subject at the 
Linux Documentation Project <http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/> if I recall 
correctly.

Go get it and run it, and if you're feeling generous, let everybody else 
know what the server's address is so anyone else who prefers news to list 
can get it that way.

Alternately, just run it on your own box and keep it to yourself. :)
