I second that request.

outline-minor-mode's extra "@" doesn't bother me that much (because
repeat-mode makes it easy to chain commands), but it'd still be nice if
outline-mode's shorter bindings could remain ("@" is a bit awkward on
AZERTY).

The only issue I see is that it entails rebinding
emacs-news-find-heading and emacs-news-count-untagged-entries?

(I've only looked at navigation commands; didn't check
section-visibility commands because I mindlessly spam TAB)
