I don't know anything about this, but it would have been nice to have
the 'G G' functionality in Gnus back.
> And few related questions:

I don't know, but I think so.
> Is/was the interface between gnus and gmane a custom thing?
Yes. But it should be easy to find the format from the Gnus code.
I think it involved an HTTP call and an XML response with the search
results...?
> Is there any standard way to search NNTP servers?
Not that I know of.
> Is there any way, short of running a news server, to download the

I don't know.
