Gnus is a program with a long history, it has aggregated a lot of different mail and "mail" backends in its time. I suspect that only a few of them are in actual use. I also suspect that the reason you don't get any answers is that you are using stuff that nobody else uses, and that the reason you are getting trouble is that no developer has touched the code in a long time.
