I like news.announce.newusers as the entry in the sample
subscriptions though hopefully you'll include a facility to have
a system default.

Sure is alpha so I did not yet give a though to compose a "good" example
file to be honest, every 60m or so I fix/add something new so keep
checking ;)

Regarding rek2_nntp,

The example appears to reach a tokio default timeout when connecting

hmm, wonder what could be different than on my news.hispagtos.org server
we run INN, for the integration test should be for sure related to Auth
I will pick into this tomorrow is almost 1m here here in Europe.
I def will want to make it compatible with more auth types, started with
TLS since we enforce it on news.hispagatos.org so creds are not flying
around in clear form.

I know it may be a lot to ask but this is not 100% related to this post
per se but whoever finds an issue I will appreciate if you post a ticket
or if have a suggestions as well here:

TODO is obvios for suggestions/features
Issues for bugs and other issues.

Happy Hacking
