I nearly guessed so. ;)

This was my position for a pretty long time too. But there are
exceptions and I though, it might open Gnus even a bit more to a broader
audience.

Well, I searched pretty hard too. Good to know, that if there is code,
it isn't obvious.

I'd be glad to hear them.

Nice to hear.

I'd be happy to sign it for Emacs do that so go on and send them. Is it
a file I can print out or do you need my postal address?

Meanwhile, could we start making the code "technically" installable
(ie. resolve issues)?
