I wish I could work on more issues: it's for lack of time and not for
lack of interest that I've been less productive.

Daiki Ueno's fix for IMAP also needs to be examined; that and Vitaly's
IMAP and backend patches are a pretty major undertaking.

I also need to write the gnus-registry documentation sometime this century.
