If you're too busy, maybe you'll agree to move the Gnus repo to Savannah (using Bazaar there). Then gnus.org can simply point to the Savannah page for checkouts, tarballs, and the web pages (which can also host the manual snapshots). So from your side it's a one-time effort to migrate CVS and set up the website links; I think Reiner and I (if Reiner agrees to this plan) can handle the rest. Ted
