Some of the latter:

fltk.org (port 1024)
news.digitalmars.com
news.povray.org
news.tin.org
nntp.lore.kernel.org
news.php.net
news.dbase.com
nntp.perl.org
lugnet.com

For Usenet news servers it's hard to tell what are deliberate
omissions from your list, but some fairly obvious ones:

news.mixmin.net
news.netfront.net
