I have good news:

* I pushed fixes for test_imaplib and test_nntplib in 3.5, 3.6 and master
* I contacted the administrator of the NNTP server used by
test_nntplib. I noticed a failure this morning (the server was unable
to spawn new processes). He fixed the issue, the server should be
back. I was aware that Python was using his server and doesn't seem to
be annoyed by that. He wrote RFC 6048, RFC 8143, and co-authored the
RFC 8054!

Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) Additions to LIST Command

Using Transport Layer Security (TLS) with Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8143

Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) Extension for Compression
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8054

He asked me if Python is going to support the last extension,
Compression. I don't know nntplib, so I have to take a look.
