Yes, my suggestion will prevent the nntp runner from running which in
turn will prevent it from calling mailman gatenews in it's periodic
task and will prevent it from trying to import nntplib, but it turns out
that the mailman start command which is used to start Mailman tries to
get all the components of all the subcommands. See
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/bin/mailman.py?....
Since there is still a mailman/commands/cli_gatenews.py file,
mailman.utilities.modules.add_components tries to import it so simply adding
[runner.nntp]
start: no
to mailman.cfg is not sufficient if there is no nntplib module. Sorry for the confusion.
