That's why I was tempted, but thinking that this file is to be edited by
other users, like the ones proposing new features over at bug#62116 and
github#839, and knowing that these users are not always familiar with
Emacs' development, this could be a source of confusion.  As in "should
I be editing this read-only file?".  A small hindrance, of course, but
the somewhat frivolous cosmetics we gain in exchange aren't worth it,
IMO.  Better to fix emacs-news-mode.
