OK, but there needs to be a

(defun rs-gnus-save-newsrc-with-whitespace-1 ()
  "Save ~/.newsrc.eld with extra whitespace."
  (gnus-message 5 "Adding whitespace to .newsrc.eld")
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (re-search-forward "(\\\"\\| ((\\| (nn" nil t)
      (replace-match "\n  \\&" t))
    (delete-trailing-whitespace)))
(add-hook 'gnus-save-quick-newsrc-hook 'rs-gnus-save-newsrc-with-whitespace-1)

for it if one must do it regularly.

And indeed, the open heart surgery succeeded.

However there should be a interface available to edit them. How could
one's RSS feeds never change URLs? Before long a user will face the
need.

G R runs the command gnus-group-make-rss-group

So perhaps C-u G R should mean edit the RSS particulars of the group
under the cursor.

Editing ~/News/rss/nnrss.el one doesn't know if one needs to
percent-encode URIs or not. The interface could take care of that.

What's worse is if you want to edit the name of the RSS group that shows
up in the *Group* buffer. You have to change ~/News/rss/nnrss.el in two
places, and change a filename on the system... in whatever wacky
charset that got used for that filename... and there may still be even
more steps.

I'd rather have a better way to edit it from inside Gnus (see other thread).
