I'd like to pass knews on to somebody who actually uses it. It's a nice
enough little newsreader, but I'm too attached to trn. There are a
couple of non-serious bugs I'd like to see fixed, but I don't really
have the time or inclination to debug them myself.

As far as I know, upstream is no longer active.

I will continue to maintain knews until somebody steps up to take over.
