Addressing only POSIX-compliant software is very good, but why not restate
the newsgroup as specifically for software going through a beta or gamma
test phase?  That is, put it out so people can bang on it, apply patches,
and then post the final result to groups which get archived.

For things like "compress" implemented in COBOL, there are always either
alt.sources or comp.sources.misc.
