I don't think this is possible to do with nn since nn does its kill
processing on the Subject and From fields and this sort of information
cannot be determined from either of those (nn provides the ">"
characters during article selection; they are not actually part of the
message).

You can, however, kill off all of the replies to a given article by
including the ">" flag in your kill file entry.  For example,
":!>s/:." will kill all articles in all groups that are replies to
previous articles, leaving only the original posts.

Followups directed to news.software.nn.
