Is this the place it or is there a mailing list of active
users/managers of NNTP-based news transport systems?

{I removed the 'Distribution: na' line.}

The NNTP-Mangers mailing list <nntp-managers-request@colossus.apple.com>
is very quiet, except for occasional connectivity discussions, as in "can
anyone give me a biz.* feed within the US Gov't?"  In has had the
occasional announcement of new NNTP software releases, and an even more
rare comment on it.  It is not a general "how do I make INN work with
SunOS2.x" list.  The list is primarily redistributed by NSFnet regional;
so if you are on NSFnet, ask your local folks who (if anyone)
redistributes it.  For example, nntp-managers-nearnet-request@think.com,
if you're a NEARnet member (I believe).

There is a mailing list to disucss nntplink
<linkers-request@zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu>.  It is almost all notices
about new beta releases, and the occasional fix for a beta-bug.

I am sure Stan Barber maintains a mailing list for people testing the
reference implementation and RN ; Wayne has one for TRN; I have one
for INN.  In general, those are for people actively working on beta releases.

The short answer then:
    public discussion of released software happens right here, often
    cross-posted to news.software.nntp (the latter is an INET gorup).

It's nearnet-nntp-managers@cs.yale.edu.  The current
nntp-managers-request list:

250-<fair@apple.com>
250-Erik E. Fair <\fair>
250-<jvnc-nntp-managers-request@cs.yale.edu (Ed Anselmo)>
250-<nearnet-nntp-managers-request@cs.yale.edu (Ed Anselmo)>
250-<los-nettos-nntp-managers-request@usc.edu (Mike Cooper)>
250-<cerfnet-nntp-managers-request@usc.edu (Mike Cooper)>
250-<cicnet-nntp-managers-request@oddjob.uchicago.edu (Matt Crawford)>
250-<nysernet-nntp-managers-request@acsu.buffalo.edu (Paul Graham)>
250-<prepnet-nntp-managers-request@cs.psu.edu (Dan Ehrlich)>
250-<texas-nntp-managers-request@bcm.tmc.edu (Stan Barber)>
250 <westnet-nntp-managers-request@ncar.ucar.edu (Greg Woods)>

If your network provider isn't on this list, then it goes on the lists
that Erik Fair maintains.  Since some of the people on
nntp-managers-request are busier and/or more attentive than others,
the time it takes to get added to nntp-mangers varies.
