Current moderator tools mostly just reformat a mail message to a news
article.

AFAIS the discussion is about implementing the
application/news-transmission Content-Type from RFC 5537. Moderator tools
would have to change form reformatting a mail message to extracting an
article that is submittend with a Content-Type of
application/news-transmission from a mail.

Quoting from RFC 5537, 3.5.1:

|   Although both of these methods have been used in the past and the
|   first has clear technical advantages, the second is in more common
|   use and many moderators are not prepared to deal with messages in the
|   first format.  Accordingly, the first method SHOULD NOT be used
|   unless the moderator to which it is being forwarded is known to be
|   able to handle this method.
