There is, as far as I know, exactly one system that works that
way.
The good news: it's open source with a Debian-acceptable
license.
The bad news: it's not packaged. It appears to be primarily, or
solely, the effort of one person. And it only has one running
instance that I'm aware of.
https://forum.dlang.org/ is the discussion system for the D
language. The web "forum" is a front end for Usenet. The mailing
list is a gateway for Usenet. And, of course, you can access it
via a Usenet server.
It also generates RSS (Atom) feeds and runs an IRC channel.
https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed has the source code.
