Yep. Now it looks like this:

(defun gnus-open-servers (&optional silent)
  (interactive)
  (unless (get-buffer gnus-server-buffer)
    (gnus-group-enter-server-mode) )
  (with-current-buffer gnus-server-buffer
    (gnus-server-open-all-servers)
    (bury-buffer) )
  (unless silent
    (message "open") )) ; [1]

The improvement is, without it one server can be offline for
some reason, and it doesn't seem to reconnect, so when I do
`gnus-group-get-new-news' sometimes I think I'm not getting
any for a long time, then I think of checking *Server* and see
one or more if offline and get 50+ messages.

And sometimes I do actually get nothing, and I check the
*Server* buffer for no reason.

Since this, opening closed servers, is my only use case in the
*Server* buffer, and I always want them all open if possible,
I thought one would automate it. So now `gnus-open-servers'
happens before `gnus-group-get-new-news' ...

Sounds like that old bug or whatever it is ...

The/a stuck process is perhaps killed that way, and restarted
it works again. Don't know why that happens (if so) tho ...

Sure, but opening a server that is closed makes sense, but
restarting it because it doesn't work otherwise is indicative
of a problem, that hasn't been solved ...
