[issue37605] CI should not depend on gmane response

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: nntp.rst, line 23, has already been updated to "s = NNTP('news.gmane.io'). But that also occasionally fails to respond. I have not seen any test failures recently, so maybe something else has changes. Should this be closed pending current failures?

[issue37605] CI should not depend on gmane response

New submission from Terry J. Reedy : On Travis, 'Documentation tests' passing is apparently required. Line 23 of nntplib.rst is ">>> s = NNTP('news.gmane.org')" I use gmane and occasional failures to respond are routine. Being able to merge should not depend on this external site. In
