Well, imagine i have set the mail to forward somewhere convenient, or i don't
have access to run a script unattended on the server. 

I think what i'm asking for is support for accept-article in general. This
would let new mail articles to be accepted, it would let me move or copy
articles into an nnagent group, and have the articles be uploaded to the real
groups when possible. It would also be possible to support other write
operations like  editting articles for example.

I suppose this is one of those things that would be nice, but you ought to
implement the basic reading operations first :)
